Or make JOSM an Inkscape plugin ;-) > I live in one of a group of 6 similar buildings, placed in zig-zag > along a street. [...] This is all not too difficult, I hade already started a geometry plugin for JOSM once but put that on ice. The most important question is where to store the metadata, i.e. the fact that one of the houses is the master object and the others are just clones. This could either be stored in an editor-specific custom tag on the cloned objects, or your editor could store it locally (which would mean less clutter in the database but you'd be the only one who can make use of this). And of course even if it were stored in the database, other editors would be ignorant of those special tags and could make modifications that disregard the "clone" hierarchy. I'm not too concerned about 3D models at the moment, they could be stored in an external database for all I care, but if someone came along and made our whole data model proper 3D that would be ok also. Just don't ask me to do that, I have enough trouble with 2D already ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
