Thanks for your reply. It may not be "necessary", but it is what I desire (in order to name each building), and I'm asking if there's a tagging scheme to do this that makes sense. I'm also, in a more general sense, raising a question about the established conventions and whether it makes sense to be tagging the individual units as "buildings", when they are not really buildings in and of themselves, but sections of one larger building that contains several other units. -- Skyler
