As I have understood established conventions, building:levels are defined in a rather complicated and unintuitive way: they are describing all "overground" building levels *without the roof levels* and minus the building:min_level. They can't deal with split level and don't define when a level is counting as "underground" or roof, or in other words how to handle partly underground levels. As min levels are linked you will always have to look for min level tags if you are interested in building levels. In case of a bridge-like building (i.e. levels above a void) you also don't know whose building level height / number you have to take for the min level. To get the number of levels you will have to add building:levels and roof and underground levels, and will have to subtract min_levels. As long as it's a "simple building", otherwise you will have to invent something better. Cheers, Martin PS: Yes, it works for the vast majority of actual buildings, only the spatially interesting buildings pose problems ;-)
