Hi everyone, A couple weeks ago, I started a thread regarding how to tag terrace buildings when the entire building has a name. I proposed an alternative tagging scheme to handle such cases, and others where it's clear that the building is one cohesive unit. As a result of that discussion, I

Hello. I am mapping a housing development that has a few terrace buildings that each have several town homes that share walls. From what I've gathered from the wiki, you can either: 1. Draw a way around the whole building and tag it with building=terrace, and then add entrance nodes with addresses
