So, you've got your "natural=wood" multipolygon sharing a way with an adjoining "natural=scrub". And then, some inconsiderate developer bulldozes his way across the boundary and puts up a housing development. Now what do you do? You can't unglue the boundary and shrink the two affected areas to make room for the "landuse=residential" because there's only one way. The only option I've found is to remove the affected section of boundary from one of the multipolygons, move it to the new location, create a new boundary way for the other multipolygon in the proper place and add it, create a new multipolygon for the development and add the relevant boundary ways to it, and then confirm that you haven't broken any of the multipolygons involved. It's painful enough that it's usually faster and easier just to delete everything and re-create them from scratch as ordinary closed ways. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
