Visualizing 3D buildings

[ooosssay]

Hello!
I’ve came across this Github repo
It is a quick way of visualizing 3D objects and I think it would be of great help to us mappers to implement this into GoMap!!

I think a great place to put this in GoMap is in either in the More button when a way or relation is selected or in the Attributes section.

I'm not opposed to this idea in general, but if it's implemented by linking to the GitHub site you mention then it will be using stale data (from the OSM website) rather than reflecting changes that the user has made but not uploaded. That seems to remove most of the utility of it.

My repro takes data from the live OSM API as its source. However, any data can be reformatted into the xml format and used. I have a directory of tests that creates a custom api endpoint to serve generic test data instead of live OSM data.

I have “Discussions” turned on at that project, so feel free to ask about anything.

So everyone here right now?
Anyways, must have been luck that you saw this and gave out a possible solution 😅

@ooosssay not luck, @bryceco reached out to me about a rendering issue and linked to this request.

my project is maybe 70% of where I would like it to be, and probably has a fair share of bugs. I’m not a Javascript Dev (or even really a programmer). I just wanted to learn javascript and 3d modeling and came up with this as a way to do it and thought I’d share it in case someone wanted to help make it better.

Why didn’t I think of that
