Simple 3D buildings
They are ofcourse not M4TR as you use the building=yes tag and you add colours, height and roof shapes.
But for more complicated buildings?
What if there is an apartment building with different colours? Am i allowed to use building:part=yes for each colour? Or is that M4TR?
Monuments
Monuments can be a little sad to just se as a square or even a node, so could i map them in 3D? That sure is M4TR, but we want to map how it is in reality. So therefore it should be allowed? Right?

In short - “Mistagging for a renderer” is bad, yes, but even highly detailed 3D micromapping with lots of
building:parts is perfectly fine, so long as the data is truthful.
