Drawing parts of the Lambeth Palace

Hi, I am adding rooms/parts to the Lambeth Palace in London, but struggle how to do it in the most correct way. Here is link to the object:

Basically on the OSM visualisation you can see the palace as a single building. However in edit mode you may see that inside the “building” geometry I’ve added several “buidling parts” geometries. Each “building part” have it’s own name: like “Dining hall”, “Guard room” and etc. So my problem that the names from “building parts” are not visualised in the OSM. Does this mean that I need to convert each “building part” into “building” and the palace should be a “multipolygon” object? What is your opinion on this?


Hi.

You will find a lot of information on the relevant pages of the wiki.

To answer your main question, indoor mapping will not show on the default rendering on OSM.org.

Regards.

You should not mis-tag for the renderer..

The building of the palace is already a multipolygon. It’s probably arguable as to whether this is the full extent of the palace or whether that name could be on an entity that covers a broader area, but it’s probably OK as is.

Some of he building:part ways look like reasonable divisions of the building, others look like they might be better off mapped with the appropriate indoor tags mentioned by @H. Using the indoor tagging scheme should mean that the components will render on the likes on indoorequal.org and apps that support indoor views.
