Importing administrative boundaries #1031
Description
Hi!
I noticed the addon doesn't import most of the OSM boundaries. (Bledner 4.5, BlenderGIS 2.2.14)
I checked the sources first by querying features of OSM map in the online service, for an area spanning over a few villages in Poland, and as expected, it listed some administrative boundaries which I wanted to import (screenshot)
However, in Blender, when I added the tag "boundary" in addon preferences, went to Get OSM > "boundary", Nodes and Ways selected, I got, well, some leftovers. Most of the boundaries were missing. Here's my area:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=52.19046&lon=16.59348#map=14/52.18843/16.58412&layers=N
Importing boundaries straight from an OSM file returns nothing.
I had no problem with default features like buildings, roads etc. Even large road networks, like 50x50 km, got imported (I had edited "io_import_osm.py" to allow importing larger areas). I tried basemaps with zoom levels 13 to 15, and so far, I'm only having problem with Boundaries.
I think it's not server overload cause there are no errors, just most of the data missing.
The issue may be be related to how OSM boundary data is defined by local editors. For comparison, I also checked south-west coast of UK, and it successfully fetched the complete set of counties (?).
Also, the issue seems similar to:
