You might be expecting to do more than required. If you have drawn the building outline, and tagged it as a building then you are done. In the advanced view you have a tag building=yes to designate a generic building. It could be anything; a home, a hospital, a hovercraft store. You may then consider adding more information, like address details, or further tags for Points of Interest. But for a home, building=yes and address tags are all that are needed. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
