Is 3D mapping, mapping for the renderer?

Pubblicato da Geocacher1 il 17 aprile 2025 in English.

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?

You might find the discussion on this recent blog post interesting: osm.org/user/rphyrin/diary/406378

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.
