</span>Does it ? I cant think of any application where this makes sense.<br>
A node does not have an orientation so why can it have a length?<br>
<br>
If it has a length it does not make sense to use a node.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Read my second sentence again. Some mappers do not want to draw geometry for some small feature. See e.g. man_made=street_cabinet. There you have a length and width. Together with the key direction one can determine the geometry. I don't see why anyone would want to do it that way instead of simply drawing a box, but I accept the fact, that some users do, so it's fine for me.<br><br>Best regards,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Martin<br><br></div></div>
