Use Data Table filters to remove the existing 3D buildings from your projects to start with a blank slate.
The 3D Buildings Layer pulls from Open Street Map. OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world.
In Giraffe, the Open Street Map Buildings dataset displays as the 3D Buildings layer in the layer palette. It is typically in the Base Map group.

Sometimes it is necessary to demolish existing buildings. To remove buildings from your Giraffe project, use Data Table.
