Right now I have two main .OSM files: one where the buildings have all been traced in more detail and have been given accurate height values, and one that has all the grass in the right places. Because, somehow, a few patches of grass were removed from the main OSM I'm working on, and I need to transplant them back from the other OSM file. But I can't, because JOSM doesn't let you select parts of the map with the tag landuse=grass, and the clipboards of two instances of JOSM are separate, so I couldn't copy the grass from one to the other in JOSM even if I could select it. I've tried to put the grass back in by merging the files with osmconvert, but that always screws up a bunch of the buildings, and sometimes duplicates the buildings as well. I need a way to isolate and copy those two sections of grass to the other OSM file. Does anyone know how? asked 17 Dec '15, 17:40 bgiglione |

Sorry to say so, but your problem doesn't make a lot of sense. Naturally you can select, copy and then paste an element to a different layer in JOSM and landuse=grass is no different than anything else. Note: it is not quite clear if your "two" instances is just a typo or serious. You should -not- be running two instances of JOSM in parallel, you simply load your data files in to two different layers in the same instance. answered 17 Dec '15, 20:44 SimonPoole ♦ |
