How to create real building linework quickly? - Using OpenStreetMap with Archicad

[@Skawagon]

OpenStreetMaps are a very good tool. I would not use it for precise data, as they are not that precise. Also, the projection used by cadastral map is usually different from the projection used by OSM, so matching one onto another is a challenge. But OSM is great for spatial analysis, especially on large scales for urban studies or large development projects. In that case, it is beneficial to download it form OSM server in the form of .svg (also a vector format) and open in Illustrator. From there, using find similar by stroke and fill, all sorts of unique maps can be created: Schwarzplan, rivers, roads, green areas, public transport , all that can be created into separate maps, very useful when researching a place.

Please, what's the name of the other website ( the more precise one ) ( the one matching the cadastral map ). thanks !

[@Skawagon]

@@SpatialModels That is probably country specific. Here in Czech Republic for example you can get them directly placed into archicad via plug-in made by Bimtechtools. They have similar thing for Slovenia and Slovakia I believe. But probably not for many other countries.

@@Skawagon BIMTech isn't country-sepcific. We use it in our offices in Germany too.

@@VIA-studio I didn't know they expanded so far as I haven't used the plugin for some time now. It is truly a valuable free tool.

Danke für die Idee. Wir haben übrigens hier in der Schweiz auch ein Koblenz, nahe der Grenze zu Deutschland bei Waldshut Tiengen...
