DEPRECATED: Legacy cloud styling is deprecated and is slated for retirement starting on or after March 18, 2025. At that point, your legacy map styles will automatically update. Google recommends you update to the new cloud-based maps styling before March 2025. For more information about the deprecation, see Deprecations. To update your legacy styles, see Update a map style to the latest version.

When a vector map is in use (Android, iOS, or JavaScript vector maps),
buildings use the 3D style beginning at zoom level 17 and higher by
default. A Footprints style is also available, which displays only the 2D
outlines of buildings for a cleaner appearance. You can customize fill and
stroke colors for both types.

Open the Style Editor, then select the Buildings feature type
