Osm Roof Shapes

Hipped left and gabled right roof shapes.

Osm roof shapes.

In addition covered may be used to mark objects for example roads as covered by the roof. 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. I have heard that we can do that in osm. After the roof shape has been drawn it should be moved to match the location on the ground level.

This section is a wiki template editable here. Additional roof shapes are suggested in s3db proposals including advanced approaches for manual modelling e g proposedrooflines or parts of osm 4d roof table. If there are already other features below or above the roof on the map layer should be used to provide information about stacking of features. Either all ways below roof or the roof should get a layer tag.

However they all seem to be mostly symmetric. This should be self explaining. Simple 3d buildings on the osm wiki defines several roof shapes. This tag should be added for roof shapes.
