I looked at your files and you have the building shapes converted already... great! I'd like to learn how you did it.<br>

<div><br>It's certainly better than the way I had been trying it. I only started with QGIS maybe 2 weeks ago and I have no experience with other GIS tools. I do know PostgreSQL a bit, so I was trying it with PostGIS, using QGIS merely as a viewer tool to see what's available. Unfortunately things went south during the import of the shape files into PostGIS.<br>
<br>Anyway, thanks for enlightening me. <br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">

Combine addr:street:fr and addr:street:nl in addr:street or omit it/them altogether.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>yes i know that usually we only have addr:street but as in BXL we (don't know who :p ) decided to set the street name as it come from the mapper (fr-nl or nl -fr ) it's really hard to discover...<br>
</div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br>It was decided many years ago that the first mapper would 'decide' on the order of the languages in the name tag. I don't mind to put fr-nl everywhere to make it consistent. Except for 'faciliteitengemeentes' like Sint-Genesius-Rode where it should either be nl-fr, or nl in name and fr in name:fr.<br>

Since most buildings are houses, I'd use building=house.<br></blockquote></div><div>mmmh do not really agree on this one ...<br></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div></div><div>for me building = yes is more generic ... if we know it's house then ok let's change it, but let's not put house everywhere and make the value "house" equivalent to "yes" <br>

<br>There is another solution (which involves PostGIS), but I'll need some time to work it out.<br><br>In the mean time Utilsplugin 2 has a Replace Geometry tool, which does work.
