tags

buildings

There are some notable tags this software supports:

• height=*
• min_height=*
• building:levels=*
• building:min_level=*
• building:ground_level=*
• building:skipped_levels=* (User_talk:Jongleur/MultiLevel_Building_Shapes)

to determine height of 3D objects (buildings, barriers). See User:Jongleur/MultiLevel_Building_Shapes. Height of one level is taken as 3 meters, for some 1-level buildings 1 meter is added for basement.

• width=* or
• lanes=* for highway widths.
