Hi Guys,
I am posting this here just in case anyone is running into the same issue and wasn't aware of this new version. Recently, the OSM servers seem to be very busy and when running Chad's tool (I had been running version 4.0.0), I could process the Lidar and see my course to draw the red box, however, when trying to pull in golf features from OSM, it would start processing get to less than 10% complete and then it would give me an error message saying servers are too busy, try again later, then something like moving to lowest elevation point, then say it was "done, preview", but there were no course features added.
I tried this at all hours of the night and kept getting the same errors. I was even looking into to using Chat GPT to try to figure out how use the downloaded OSM map rather than trying to pull from the servers, but that was beyond my capabilities.
Anyway, as I was looking through the TGC Pro Boards forum, I saw that someone had actually created a mod for Chad's tool which added a loop coded in so it keeps calling up OSM until it loads, rather than give up after one try. I ran it and, sure enough, pulled up OSM without failing.
Version 0.4.2 can be found here. https://github.com/Hiblet/TGC-Designer-Tools/releases
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Stephen
