[talk-au] Changing building levels elevator to description elevator shell

[Phil Wyatt]

Many thanks Sigurjon

I don’t suppose you have accessibility data as well? That would be great to know as well.

 

*	wheelchair=yes/no – suitable for wheelchairs?
*	tactile_writing:braille:lg=yes/no?

 

Cheers - Phil

Hi Warin,

 

Apologies for not getting back to you and acting on this.

We will revisit all these locations and update in the coming days.

 

 

Below is how we plan to tag the two typical scenarios:

 

inside a building 

 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/993829900> https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/993829900 

 

highway=elevator

building:levels=2

indoor=room

room=elevator

 

outside building (stand alone) 

 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/993533793> https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/993533793

 

highway=elevator

building:levels=3

building:yes

description=elevator shell

 

 

Please let me know if you are not happy with this approach.

 

 

Regards,

Sigurjon

TfNSW

building:part should be a 'part' of a building .. not the entire 
building .. they are both tagged with building=yes.

One example

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/996164524/history

has no past history .. so no previous key of building:part.


I'd have no problem with building=elevator_shell, but they are 
building=yes. I am happy to change that too, if acceptable?

I have been using building=silo with man_made=silo (key building for 
rendering the area .. man_made just does a symbol).
