    Can I (How do I ) make the Geoscape Australia Building Data available in SSA, using the API

    Hi Jason,

    You could use SSA extensibility to retrieve building attributes and footprint when you click on the map, but you might be better off getting a copy of the building footprints layer and loading it directly in SSA.

    The API is great if you operate over a large area and only need a footprint here or there but may not be the best option if you want to see all building footprints in a street or suburb. For example, you might be able to use the API to render a building footprint in a TrueView report. I'd need to do some testing, but this might be a better use case for the API.
