Ok, for the residential area, i have the tags in the relation, and not on the outer, nor on the inner. Is that OK? It still renders (i would think) Sam ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Hi Sam, It's either that you'll end up with 0 byte files, or with files without any outer polygons. The former is just an inconvenience, while the latter is a problem. ;) Anyways, before you generate new data, I think someone should have a look at shp-to-osm, to check if my assumption that the

Hi Richard, i think your refering to the large multi-polygons such as 'residential_area', and it 'appears' to be inverted. Here's the majic; when all the sub- residential.osm files are uploaded to OSM, it renders correctly. In JOSM, you need to zoom out and load the area, to see it. I think i'll
