Must have been the way I grabbed the xml from github that caused the problem. The buildings look good. A couple were different than the image but that could be just from more recent construction. Are you planning to include addresses on the outline or as a separate node? My recommendation is to add the address to the building if the building has only one address. If the building has multiple nodes, then leave the addresses as nodes. > > > > When we did the Seattle building and address import, we tried the JOSM > conflation plug it.

Looking at Josh's github repository for the plugin, was activity 11 months ago which is much more recent than our Seattle Import. Most of the code is over 3 years old. Give it a try. It might work for you. Clifford -- @osm_seattle osm_seattle.snowandsnow.us OpenStreetMap: Maps with a human touch
