Tools > Join overlapping Areas

Keyboard shortcut: Shift+J

Join areas that overlapping each other.

You can select two or more closed ways.

• If one way is surrounded by the other(s) a multipolygon will be created automatically.
• The order of selection matters, as the remaining way will keep the object id and object history of the first selected way with positive id.
• All tags with only a single value and all relation memberships from all ways will be added and the Tags/Memberships Conflict Dialog will open if manual decisions are needed. In normal user mode it will additionally warn before adding any tag or membership the ways do not have in common, like Combine Ways, see Combine Confirmation.
