This likely would involve a pre-upload translation of polygon data into mulitipolygon using the tool, then conflation (which has to be done anyway). Except, we upload multipolygons as we delete existing polygons during the conflation-and-upload phase.

They make updates harder, but I think I can get over that, as I can be convinced that "once done, the time investment is worth it" for the future benefits that multipolygons bring.
Okay, I will withhold myself from touching polygons in the Santa Cruz County for next couple of years, and let's see how your future experience with SCCGIS goes on. We can get back to this question later in scope of Santa Cruz. Meanwhile, do I understand that my initial understanding of strong consensus against multipolygons in the USA overall was wrong reading? First few emails in the thread made me think so. I'd like to continue working on coastline, and map all remaining SMRs and later maintain them. I also want keep using multipolygons in any regular edits. Are there any objections? -- Gleb Smirnoff _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
