Adding Buildings to OSM
Tailored for Virginia, using Virginia data.

Using Rapid
Probably the easiest way to start is by using the Rapid editor. This assumes you know how to use the Rapid editor. You can save yourself a URL with a few custom parameters to open the editor.
- Base URL: https://rapideditor.org/rapid#
- VBMP imagery:
background=VBMPImagery_Most_Recent
- Microsoft Buildings:
datasets=msBuildings
- Area to start in:
map=10.37/38.1811/-79.1423
This updates in the URL as you scroll and zoom. So just navigate the map to your favorite spot, and copy/paste.
- My favorite, Power user:
poweruser=true
Allows one to make large edits (>100), and use preview datasets.
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Select a building outline, press A to add it.
- Rotate, and Move. (A bug: you can't switch directly from R to M, you must 'esc' or click to escape the move or rotate mode before selecting the other mode) #818
- If address node exists, Shift+click to select building and address, then Combine.
