Who doesn't know this? You have a new building and it's not displayed correctly.

ZShapePointMove often helps, but how do you do it correctly?

The Modenc page covers the tag in detail. Is there a part of it that you specifically need help with?

Here is an example of how the ZShape is used by [GAAIRC].

The first images shows how the game will automatically position the ZShape along the bottom of the gaairc.shp file and doesn't take into account any extra animations or bibs attached to the building that might make its footprint larger.

To fix this [GAAIRC] uses ZShapePointMove=60,30 which moves the ZShape 60 pixels to the right and 30 lower (use negative numbers to move it left and up) to make the ZShape also cover the building's bib.
