SimCity - Almost (part Deux)

South eastern part of Kastrup town, from the Airport up to Hedegaardsvej almost finished. The Yahoo WMS with the high-Res sat imagery and JOSM, makes my project of adding the buildings so much easier and faster than expected. I'm guessing that Kastrup town will be ready when the next Mapnik layer update comes around, and untill then, it can be viewed on the T@H layer.

Have you looked at the function in JOSM to make squares?

Dutch, Nice work!

To Gustav, I've had a play in JOSM with the rectangle function, and was dissapointe that it can't be used on four nodes that aren't connected by a way that forms a simple rectangle. I wanted to use it on buildings with much more complicated shape, without having to faff around making extra rectangular ways to do it and then deleting them.

Indeed, very nice work.

I was a bit uncelar about what feature I was talking thinking about. The extrusion tool is what I was thinking about:
