There's a few building=container in taginfo that seem to fit better than my initial idea of building=prefab. You might also want to tag roof:shape=flat and height=*.

please since were talking about containers, ad length in feet.

Why on earth in feet? length is in meters by default.

yep, no offence but containers are named and known as 10, 20, 40 and 45".

Is a length tag useful at all ? Doesn't the geometry of the closed way already give the information we want in this case ? In fact in this case (container-turned-building), there should probably be a single osm closed way for the multiple containers that are arranged into a single "building", so the length of the original containers really doesn't matter.

Also don't forget to tag color=*.

Jonathan, you mean colour, right? ;-) building:colour and roof:colour would be other options. Well, we do not need to copy the Simple 3d buildings page - it is linked in the "answer" text.
