I would treat both situations the same and use shared nodes, but maybe wouldn’t object if someone purposefully mapped the latter as 2 almost-touching buildings, although the osm building ways usually describe the footprint of the completed building (i.e. with facades, cladding etc.) and not the raw load bearing structure. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
