According to the wiki page about building=terrace, it is usually best practice to map each house as a separate area (closed way) object.
"A more detailed and recommended alternative is to map each dwelling separately using building <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building> =house <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dhouse>, but keeping at least two nodes in common for adjoining houses." https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Dterrace If you map each house individually, it is not necessary to map the whole outline of the row of houses. – Joseph Eisenberg On Mon, Jul 6, 2020 at 1:21 PM Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > sent from a phone > > > On 6.
