Other roof tags
| Key | Comment |
|---|---|
| roof:orientation=along/across | For roofs with a ridge the ridge is assumed to be parallel to the longest side of the building (roof:orientation=along). But it can be tagged explicitly with this tag. |
| roof:height=* | The height of the building (i.e. the height of the façade) is calculated as the building's total height=* minus roof:height=*. |
| roof:angle=* | Alternatively to roof:height=*, roof height can be indicated implicitly by providing the inclination of the sides (in degrees). |
| roof:levels=* | Number of floors within the roof, which are not already counted in building:levels=*. |
| roof:direction=* | Direction from back side of roof to front, i.e. the direction towards which the main face of the roof is looking. |
| roof:material=* | The outermost material of the roof. Useful in conjunction with roof:colour=*. |
| roof:colour=* | The (dominant) colour of the roof. Useful in conjunction with roof:material=*. |
