This request is related to the problem of OSM not containing all the buildings in a town, especially a smaller one like where I live.

Currently OSM does not show many of the buildings in small towns, like in this example in this neighbourhood: https://gis.elsenburg.com/apps/cfm/?x=22.48567289&y=-33.96382765&z=18&s=2256.994353&bm=osm&rot=0

However, if you click on the '3D' button in this tool and then enable OSM 3D buildings in the layers menu, the missing buildings appear.

Here is some information that might help:

The 3D buildings also have features like towers on churches, that can help recreate them better.

(dm me on discord if you want me to help ;) : duality2k )

It's a paid dataset, every user would need to buy an (expensive) licence to use it...

It'd be better to inform people more clearly that data is sourced from OSM, and prompt them to update their area if it's poorly mapped 👍

Edit:
Ah it's sourced from the daylight distribution in your screenshot, which was indeed free - but it's now been shut down.
