[OSM-talk-be] How do I tag these addresses?

[Jo]

This is very much a corner case...

Step 1:

Select a node with a low housenumber. Press 'a' and connect to a higher
housenumber.
Select this new way and tag it with: addr:interpolation=even (or odd, of
course).
Select one of the footways with a simple name by means of Ctrl-LMB (left
mouse button)
Now you have two ways selected.
Now I press 'e', but that's not the default shortcut key for Address
Interpolation (oh, it helps a lot if you install the associatedStreet and
terracer plugins)
Then a dialog window comes up.

Click on the radio button

o Relation (Create new) (the first time at least)

and tick

v Convert way to individual house numbers.

All the rest is not needed and would be added as tags in the wrong place

Two things happened. An associatedStreet relation was created for you, you
can add addr:city addr:country addr:postcode yourself to it, as tags. No
need to repeat those on every address node..

The other thing that happened is, you have an address node for each house
now.

Now it kind of depends. If you want those house numbers to be applied to
building outline closedways, then proceed as follows:

I use 'w' to create a rectangular building around all those address nodes

There is no need for this to be exact, it will become clear why right away.

Now open the associatedStreet relation and select all the houses, then
press the button which selects those address nodes. ('select objects for
selected relation members' is the tooltip)


(Make sure you close the relation editor window at this point, otherwise
you'll get an edit conflict later on)

Then use Ctrl-LMB to add the building outline and you can also select one
of its corner nodes, which is nearer to the lower number.

Now I press 't', to activate the terracer plugin.

No need to tick create an associatedStreet relation, we already have that
Leave
v delete outline way ticked

Some serious magic happens and all the address nodes have disappeared
(including their history). The info on them now belongs to the building
outline closedways, which were created.

Reopen the associatedStreet relation and all those buildings to it, assign
the role 'house' to them.

To be continued... I have to run

(I'm creating an example, but it's not done yet)
