Place d'Orleans looks nice. And, of course, we do not map for the <br>
renderer. However, as the departments that I want to map are on <br>
different floor levels and not specifically in this or that corner of <br>
the building, the approach I have taken is still not pleasing.<br>
<br>
I guess, I will read into the Simple Indoor Tagging schema then and see <br>
how it works out.<br>
<br>

Have a look at OSMand and see what it looks like.<br>

Generally it is considered bad practise to map for the renderer.<br>
<br>
As an alternative take a look at Place d'Orleans shopping center in<br>
Orleans Ontario each unit is mapped in outline with the appropriate tags<br>
added.<br>
<br>
If you look at mapping a building with floors I've seen office outlines<br>
before now.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I am trying to contribute to filling the gaps on McGill campus on<br>
OSM at<br>
the moment and I ran into a problem which I haven't fund a satisfactory<br>
answer for yet.<br>
<br>
We have several buildings on campus which are home to multiple<br>
departments, all buildings have a building name.<br>
<br>
I looked the OSM wiki feature pages and in the OSM forum and found the<br>
following approach as apparently standard procedure:<br>
1) Map building outline with building = university , name= XYZ<br>
building,<br>
operator=McGill University<br>
2) Add a node inside the building for each department with<br>
office=university, description=department name<br>
This produces irritating blue dots in the outline of the building, see<br>
<a href="https://osm.org/go/cIrNt~j2u" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://osm.org/go/cIrNt~j2u</a> <<a href="https://osm.org/go/cIrNt%7Ej2u" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://osm.org/go/cIrNt%7Ej2u</a>><br>
<br>
When I looked at other universities, I found e.g. a node with<br>
amenity=university, name=department name. But when looking at the OSM<br>
wiki feature page for universities[1] it says you only should use<br>
amenity=university for the whole campus.<br>
<br>
The office tag I found when looking for multiple businesses in one<br>
building, but the blue dot aren't nice.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on how to map this elegantly?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Tim (aka AGeographer)<br>
