`buildings` layer containing `dummy=1`

Open CommanderStorm opened this issue 9 months ago • 3 comments

while verifying planetilers' impl of the spec, I noticed that the buildings layer requires dummy=1 to be set.

I find this kind of strange. Is this a limitation of other tile generation thigns, or does this have a reason?

Should planetiler include this as well?

That is strange. I guess somebody thought that was needed because the building layer doesn't have any properties. But I don't know of any software that requires this. My osm2pgsql-based process does not set dummy=1 and it renders fine in Maplibre.

I don't know why this is set either, as I'm not aware of anything that would require it.

I put this against the next major version milestone but I'd be open to changing it in 1.1.
