• This feature, available on Android, iOS, Maps JavaScript API, and Maps Static, offers customization options for building displays on vector maps.

• By default, vector maps use a 3D building style at zoom level 17 and higher, while a 2D "Footprints" style provides a cleaner look with customizable fill and stroke colors.

• Users can switch between 3D and Footprints building styles in the Style Editor under the "Buildings" feature type, but stroke customization is limited to the Footprints style.
