Issues

If your only making 2 segments the plugin can get it wrong which side to divide on. If a road is selected, perhaps it could go for the one that is (closest to) parallel. -LastGrape/Gregory 18:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Is there a resolution / workaround to this issue? --Dónal (talk) 15:16, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Easy fix would be a tick box which asks to divide based on the long or short edge? --Aharvey (talk) 10:06, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Version 21376

  • cancel / abbrechen don't work
  • missing selection for devide horizontal / vetical
  • missing default name for the street if the existing house already have a addr:street tag

suggestions

  • the dialog window should feature a dropdown from which you can select different types of building values (as stated on the wiki page for the building key).
  • when using the plugin on an preexisting building it should use the existing value from the building tag instead ob changing it to "yes".
  • "1" as the default value for the segments is not really useful, since i normally want more then one. it maybe should be initialized with the last used value.
  • maybe a more generic version of the plugin could be used to split up different kind of areas, not just building. i have just written a proposal for parking spaces, where this plugin could work perfectly to split up existing parking areas into parking spaces.

  • a 'add /x/ metre average gap every /n/ houses' would make uniform semi-detached houses in suburbia a joy. (suggested defaults of 3.5 metres every 2 houses).

  • Divide on the shorter side There could be a checkbox to split via the shorter side. Very often I need to terrace a nearly square building to two parts (we call it twin-house here in Hungary and we have a lot of them). Terracer works based on the longer side only, which is often not the right direction. Thanks!

house numbers on the outline of the building

Hi,

Would it be possible to add a mode which keeps/preserves the address nodes (and their history), by putting them on the outline of the building (if feasible on the street side, halfway between two nodes on the façade. This node can get an entrance=main tag as well. (Until shortly I'd have said building=entrance, but this seems to be getting deprecated). This seems to be the way some people prefer to work, not only when there are more than one address in a building, but always, to get a visually pleasing result.
