Description
Hello!
I am wondering if Overture would want to infer the height of a building when given the number of levels but not the height itself.
For example, in the explorer, if you zoom here: https://explore.overturemaps.org/#18.79/43.6466092/-79.3921981/0/57
There is a hotel composed of a bunch of parts, but it renders like a pancake because there's no explicit height:
This seems to be fairly common in Toronto in my clicking around.
