The main challenge with filling in neighborhoods is adding the addresses.
Adding the buildings is not so bad if the houses are mostly rectangles and only a couple sizes; copy/paste is pretty quick. Labeling other properties is similarly straightforward. However, adding hundreds of unique addresses is prohibitively tedious! I currently have to click on a single house, click on the address field, check the address, enter the address, then repeat for the next house. This is not so bad until it’s repeated 100s (or 1000s) of times.
PLEASE tell me I’m just being foolish and there is an easy way to scroll through multiple selected buildings to enter the same field in each! I’m picturing something like: select all houses, enter first address, HOTKEY TO NEXT HOUSE, enter next address. Not only would it remove several steps, but also remove manual mouse clicks which require diverting attention. If I could do this, I could have a list of addresses and zip through an entire area pretty quickly without losing my place constantly looking back and forth.
This helps a lot! It took me a minute to figure out how to use it but it allows for pretty quickly from the number field on one house to the same field in the next. It could only be improved if there were a way to cycle directly through a group of selected houses without clicking in between, but still a huge improvement!
@gedaliyah Why would you need to go on a house more than once?
I think I’m being unclear. Right now, the tool makes it:
@gedaliyah Ah gotcha. I can’t think of a way for any tool to find the “next house” as that would depend on multiple criteria. You say 4 steps, have you tried playing with the bottom increment slider? If mapping from scratch you’d usually have no missing housenumber. My workflow is to click on house, K, Enter, repeat until end of one side of the road (odd or even numbers), then onto the other side
