Hi,

I'd like to run this query

way[building]({{bbox}})->.a; foreach .a ( way.a(around:400); way._(if:count(ways) == 1); out center; );

I found here but using {{geocodeArea:"Burlats"}} or {{geocodeArea:"Boissezon"}} or {{geocodeArea:"Noailhac"}} instead of the {{bbox}}parameter....It seems I'm doing something wrong because

way[building]({{geocodeArea:"Boissezon"}})->.a; foreach .a ( way.a(around:400); way._(if:count(ways) == 1); out center; ); just get me a syntax error message :)

Thanks

The Overpass Turbo shortcut replaces the geocodeArea with an area query, which is not valid syntax for specifying the area in the way query.

The fix is to save the area result to a set first:

{{geocodeArea:"Boissezon"}}->.searchArea;
way[building](area.searchArea)->.a;
foreach .a (
  way.a(around:400);
  way._(if:count(ways) == 1);
  out center;
);

An easy way to recall the structure of such queries is to put something like amenity=* in Toledo into the Wizard.
