Adjust default buildings / houses height and customize type and facades textures

In dev mode, in the same way we trace a polygon around an area to override the default vegetation type and parameters, we could select an area around the data drive infrastructure to adjust the:

  • Building type (regional type or specific)
  • Roof type
  • Assign facades textures from materials other than default

A similar idea would be to allow a developer to "copy" a defaultbuilding from the DevMode and be able paste it in another area.
