For Buildings, mosts tools accept Simple 3D Buildings

How can we tag low res models

Some already agreed, that we should add a minimum detail directly to the osm datas. user:bilbo requestet a 3D related Project of the week and was so kind to create a JOSM preset [1]. So let's see what we all would like to add and document it for a proposal.

Current tagging schemes

Building

Building suggests to use building=* to differ the types of buildings. So a mix between the building itself and the amenities is possible e.g.

building=farm
amenity=kindergarten

It suggest to tag a node on the building outline with building=entrance

Had been proposed at Proposed_features/Building

Building attributes

Proposed features/Building attributes

building=* usage corresponding to building
height=* height with unit between ground and roof (no antennas etc.). Absolute building height
min_height=*absolute buildin startpoint from ground (shrinking)
building:levels=* same for levels, default 3m
building:min_level=*
building:cladding=* material of cladding
building:type=* type of building
building:architecture=* type of architecture style
building:use=* main use
building:shape=* approximated simple geometric 3D figure
building:model=* url to a 3d model file
building:levelPlan=* scheme to assign level ussage
building:levels:underground=* number of levels below ground
building:levels:aboveground=* number of levels above ground
building:levels:mezzanine=* number of levels between, that doesn't fill the whole shape [2]
building:levels:top=* kind of top level e.g. penthouse
building:level:1,2,3...=* type of usage per level
roof:shape=* type of roof (see File:Roofs.png)
roof:angle=* pitch of roof in full degree
roof:height=* height of pitch in meters
roof:orientation=* orientation along or across a rectangular shape
roof:ridge=* nodes of the innerst ridge roof ridge
roof:extent=* extend of roof away from building shape
roof:color=* in hex RGB values
roof:material=* material of roof
building:facade:colour=*
building:facade:material=*

Proposed level

Relations/Proposed/Level suggest a relation for objects on the same level

Layer

Used to create a z-order if 2 ways cross or are upon each other

layer=*
