> it is a land fill and there is something on the top If it is a landfill with a high, flat top and steep slopes on each side, it would be appropriate to use a closed way around the edge of the flat top, and tag it with man_made=embankment. This means that the arrows on the line should be going in the counter-clockwise direction, so that the low ground is on the right side of the way. >a big hole in the case of an retention dry pond In this case you can just use landuse=basin + basin=retention, but you can also also draw the top of the slopes on each side. If the retention basin is completely circled by steep slopes, you could draw a line all the way around, but this time in the CLOCKWISE direction, since the lower ground is on the right-hand side. I hope this makes sense now. - Joseph Eisenberg On 1/16/20, 80hnhtv4agou--- via talk <[email protected]> wrote: > > maybe i asked it wrong, there is no way per say, it is a land fill and there > is something on the top, but to the > > tracers looking at bing it looks flat but it is a big mountain, on the one > hand or a big hole in the case > > of an reintion dry pond > > in the case of a road, on the top of a mound or below street leave. > > that is to show that these things are not on the ground leave. > > From: Pierre Béland via talk > Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2020 1:28 PM > To: [email protected] ; Paul Johnson ; Yves > Subject: Re: [OSM-talk] Tag:man_made=embankment > > I think that there is a miss-conception here.
