Re: [talk-au] Question about houses

[Sebastian S.]

I'm sure you have seen that the building tag cane be yes, house, Appartement, 
Garage, shed, etc.

You can also add building levels if you know the area well.

Hi James,

If there is only one building at the address, I would merge the 
building and the address point.

You can mark the entrance as described here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:entrance

If there is more than one building, add a perimeter, and merge the 
address to that:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Multiple_buildings_for_one_housenumber



If the other buildings are garages, garden sheds then I would still put 
the address on the house.





Note that according to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses
there are several options for tagging buildings with addresss, but the 
above are my preferred methods.


Regards,
David

Personally, I've always gone with either #3, with the address node 
at the driveway, or drawn the building & added the address details 
to that.


Either way seems to work, in the they render, & also appear in an 
address search (at least on OSMand!)


Good luck & have fun!

I'm adding the buildings around where I live. They're all
individual buildings, mainly houses. In my part of Australia
we've address points, which come from the local council. They're
in the middle of the lot - not necessarily in the middle of the
building on the lot.

Should I be:
1. Adding the building outlines and moving the address points to
the centre of the building?
2. Adding the building outlines and dropping the address point
onto the outline, so they're merged?
3. Adding the building outlines and dropping the address point
onto the outline at the entrance, so they're merged?
4. What the hell are you doing James, don't touch the address
points?

Looking at the renderer: if I do #3, that moves the street
number to the entrance of the property, which is quite helpful,
especially for a building on a corner.

Hello James!

FYI those addresses you see were likely created as part of the NSW address 
import project - that is why they are in the middle of the lot :) Please feel 
free to improve on its accuracy by merging it into an actual building!

[talk-au] Question about houses

[James Cridland]

Hello, folks - first time poster here, and (while I first edited OSM a
while ago) this my first time doing a lot of work in it to make it nicer.

I'm adding the buildings around where I live. They're all individual
buildings, mainly houses. In my part of Australia we've address points,
which come from the local council. They're in the middle of the lot - not
necessarily in the middle of the building on the lot.

Should I be:
1. Adding the building outlines and moving the address points to the centre
of the building?
2. Adding the building outlines and dropping the address point onto the
outline, so they're merged?
3. Adding the building outlines and dropping the address point onto the
outline at the entrance, so they're merged?
4. What the hell are you doing James, don't touch the address points?

Looking at the renderer: if I do #3, that moves the street number to the
entrance of the property, which is quite helpful, especially for a building
on a corner.
