Nominatim plus the OSM API confirm 6840 Hollywood Blvd as way 424024147 (Hollywood Masonic Temple, Q3139424), footprint ~1387 m2. The neighbouring El Capitan Theatre is a separate way with a different amenity and size, so the two stay distinct structures. Raw responses are checksummed in Geo/raw/.

# Geo
|
|
|
|
Geographic sources, manifests, and the scripts that turn them into Blender imports.
|
|
|
|
OSM is layout data only. It is not authoritative for façade detail, height, or pavement, and it is never sampled as a texture or panorama source.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
| Path | Contents |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `Geo/raw/` | Verbatim source responses, checksummed. Never edited by hand. |
|
|
| `Geo/verification/` | Per-pass verification notes: address, footprint, bounds, and what remains unresolved |
|
|
| `Geo/manifests/` | One manifest per saved extract (see below) |
|
|
| `Geo/scripts/` | Repeatable fetch and conversion helpers |
|
|
|
|
Current state: the two El Capitan footprints are verified in [`verification/2026-11-06-el-capitan-block.md`](verification/2026-11-06-el-capitan-block.md). The block-wide extract, boundary intersections, north-side enumeration, and elevation check are open.
|
|
|
|
## Required manifest
|
|
|
|
Every extract gets a manifest file `Geo/manifests/<source>-<date>.md` recording:
|
|
|
|
| Field | Example |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Source | Overpass API / Geofabrik / OSM extract provider |
|
|
| Extract date | date the query ran or the file was downloaded |
|
|
| Query or file URL | the exact query text or download URL |
|
|
| Data timestamp | OSM data date reported by the source (may differ from the extract date) |
|
|
| Bounds | west, south, east, north in WGS84 decimal degrees |
|
|
| Licence | ODbL 1.0, attribution string |
|
|
| Checksum | SHA-256 of the committed file |
|
|
| CRS and local origin | projected CRS plus the chosen origin, with its WGS84 coordinates |
|
|
| Files | every file produced from this extract |
|
|
|
|
## Demo bounds
|
|
|
|
`0.1.0` covers 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre, buildings on the south side of Hollywood Boulevard between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive, and north-side buildings whose footprint lies within 50 m of the north frontage. Verify address, footprints, and boundaries against source data before modeling; anything unverifiable is recorded here as unresolved and is not modeled.
|
|
|
|
## Coordinate convention
|
|
|
|
- Work in a local projected CRS (EPSG:26911, NAD83 / UTM zone 11N, is the default candidate) and record the local origin explicitly.
|
|
- Blender and Unreal both take metres → Unreal units at 1 m = 100 uu. The conversion is applied once, in one place, and recorded in the manifest. Never apply a second silent scale on import.
|
|
- Preserve the original geographic coordinates in metadata so any asset can be traced back to its position.
|
|
|
|
## Unresolved items
|
|
|
|
Record here any structure whose address, footprint, or boundary could not be verified from permitted sources, with the sources checked. It does not get modeled.
