>So to summarize my overall points. Mapping as a node is not wrong, but
I would rather see someone spend an hour mapping a few hundred buildings
as areas rather than a few thousand as nodes, since the nodes will have
to be mapped as areas eventually anyway. So as far as I see it it is
just a
As you say, you looked on the wiki and it does list building nodes as
acceptable. Mapping them this way is not wrong, it is just far from
optimal.
Regarding the plugins for josm, I don't know that either of these are
really needed. Residential areas as convex hulls can be easily made in
qgis
Hi all,
so I don't want to revisit the whole discussion, but here's my view. This
isn't a suggestion to change the HOT-default of mapping buildings as way,
but just to explain my approach. I've recently mapped about 2,000
node-buildings near Fiwila, Northern Zambia. I checked the OSM wiki, it
> Buildings as nodes is not a recognized way of mapping them that has
broad support. Almost without exception the only people doing this are
newbie HOT mappers who don't know the correct procedure. So this is a
mistake that should be fixed, just like non-square buildings or
unconnected roads.
I
Absolutely agree with you Andrew.
Support for building tag on nodes should be dropped by now.

The real solution is to "upgrade" these nodes into properly mapped
buildings with a way. We really should be discouraging people mapping
as nodes like this as it is largely a waste of time since someone has to
map it as a way later on anyway and when they do they either need to
delete the
Hi all,
just to follow up on the buildings discussion - it seems that it's not
likely that node-buildings will be rendered in the standard cartography,
see https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/806.
However, I think there is a case for rendering node-buildings in the HOT
