Simple 3D buildings on the OSM wiki defines several roof shapes. However, they all seem to be mostly symmetric. In the area where I was thinking of tagging roof shapes, it is a very common pattern to have the roof be "hipped" towards the end of the building that faces the street, and "gabled" in the back.
Hipped (left) and gabled (right) roof shapes. What would be the correct way of tagging the roof shapes of such buildings? This question was migrated from gis.stackexchange.com/q/368165. |

At the time of writing, there is no established tagging in OSM that allows you to model this as a single roof shape. If you want to limit yourself to standard tags, you'd have to split this into multiple building parts with simpler roof shapes, e.g. a There are some proposals which would allow you to model this as a single roof. None of these have much software support at the time of writing:

There is a far more extensive roof table which lists this type as There is also a proposed roof lines relation which looks very involved and probably isn't supported by any software yet. 2
OSM-4D is not an established standard and doesn't really have any better software support at the moment than roof lines (which are supported in OSM2World, but nowhere else as far as I know). Doesn't mean one can't use it, but it merits a disclaimer imo.

In advanced settings you could could put roof_type = your examples or flat, or Solar have a look at what has been used before. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/ |
