<div>Subject: [Talk-ca] Osmose minor_line question</div><div><br></div>
<div id="x3402063cb14c401"><blockquote cite="CADqb88siwxQSjU3jcfM0b+ca0jLuTRXhRTTgSQPY8hbZqnCkWw@mail.gmail.com" type="cite" class="cite2">
<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I've been adding power infrastructure around my area in OSM for several months now. Power towers, power poles, power lines, minor lines, transformers, and so forth. Looking at Osmose, I noticed that it considers a minor power line that stops near a house to be an error (though a low one). Specifically, I am told that I have <span style="color:rgb(255,85,85);font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:bolder">Unfinished power minor lines</span>. I've been trying to clear any issues like that that I see (and especially those I create), but I have a question about how to end them. Osmose recommends <b>location:transition=yes</b>, but I disagree. The end of pole lines, at least in my area / province, do not transition into underground lines, they just end. They represent the last connection to a home on that line and terminate there (and, I assume, the excess energy is grounded, as in transmitted into the ground and dispersed safely). </div><div><br></div><div>My thinking was that, if I use the <b>location:transition=yes</b>, this is factually incorrect. I think it would be better to use <b>location:transition=grounded</b> or maybe <b>minor_line=grounding</b> or similar.</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Adam</div></div>
