User:Tordanik/Window tagging

This is a draft for a window tagging proposal. The aim is to provide additional data especially for 3D and Indoor applications. It is designed to work together with Simple 3D Buildings as well as current indoor mapping proposals.

Applies to

The proposed window attributes can be used on several elements:

• on nodes of individual windows in indoor mapping, representing a single window
• on door nodes, representing a single window built into a door
• on building or building part outlines, representing the type of windows used on that part of the façade

Proposed tags

Key	Value	Definition	Image
Base tag
window	yes
window	no	there are no windows on this building, building part or door
window	*	the function/type of the window (e.g. display_window)
Measurements
window:height	length value	the height of a window (i.e. the space between the top and the bottom of the window)
window:breast	length value	the breast of a window (i.e. the space between the ground of the floor and the bottom of the window)
window:width	length value	the width of a window
Shape and Structure
window:shape	rectangle/circle/semicircle/triangle/diamond/...	The shape of (the main part of) the window
window:top:shape	rectangle/semicircle/triangle/arc/...	The shape of the upper end of the window. The bottom can be tagged similarly with window:bottom:shape=*.
window:panes	2x2, 3x2	the number and arrangement of panes (horizontal x vertical)
window:shutter	no/left/right/both	whether there are one-sided or two-sided shutters. If no shutter-related tag is present, then it is assumed that the windows don't have shutters. (The directions are seen from the inside of the building.)
Materials and Colours
window:material	glass, glass_brick, stained_glass, plastic, no, ...	material the window is made of
window:colour	Key:colour syntax	colour of the window
window:frame:material	wood, plastic, ...	material the frame is made of
window:frame:colour	Key:colour syntax	colour of the frame
window:shutter:material	wood, plastic, ...	material the shutters are made of
window:shutter:colour	Key:colour syntax	color of the the shutters
