Editing Presets/Quick-buildings

Adjust edit area height: Edit side-by-side

This opinionated preset is designed to quickly specify the type of a building, replacing the generic ```building=yes```, with a click from the toolbar. It includes several groups, covering the most popular building=* combinations. Many statistical applications of OSM data can benefit greatly from concrete building types.

The last option in each group is a "generic" one ("industrial", "commercial", "residential", etc), intended for the cases where you can't narrow down the tag further.

Some options are narrower than the definitions described on the OSM wiki. This is intentional. Take note:

* ```industrial > water tower (heavy)``` is intended for huge permanent water towers made of brick and similar materials. Rule of thumb: if it looks like it can have its own address, use this. It can be used on a closed way only. The option applies ```man_made=water_tower``` in addition to specifying a building. If the tower is no longer functional, remove it.
* ```storage tank``` and ```silo``` both also add accompanying ```man_made``` tags. Similar to water towers, I suggest using these for major structures that look like buildings — as such, these can only be applied to a closed way (polygon).
* ```chimney``` likewise is intended for prominent objects like cooling towers of a power station, or huge brick factory towers. Closed way only.

Don't forget to add the preset to the JOSM toolbar!
