In general the convention in OSM is to map the bird's-eye view & not the footprint of the building. Most building will be mapped from aerial or satellite imagery so accurate mapping of footprints requires additional on-the-ground inspection. Mapping the building as visible from above generally ensures buildings are mapped consistently. Note that this is different from the typical approach of national topographic maps. answered 03 May '20, 10:46  SK53 ♦ |
