Relations are somehow included in points layer

[pathmapper]

What is the bug?

Relations are somehow included in points layer

[out:xml] [timeout:25];
 {{geocodeArea:Kreis Kleve}} -> .area_0;
(
    node["amenity"="social_facility"]["social_facility:for"="senior"](area.area_0);
    way["amenity"="social_facility"]["social_facility:for"="senior"](area.area_0);
    relation["amenity"="social_facility"]["social_facility:for"="senior"](area.area_0);
);
(._;>;);
out body;

results in

But should be 35 points:

Environment

• QuickOSM version: 2.1.1
• QGIS version: 3.26.3
• OS: Windows 10

[pathmapper]

A raw query for ways only

[out:xml] [timeout:25];
 {{geocodeArea:Kreis Kleve}} -> .area_0;
(
    way["amenity"="social_facility"]["social_facility:for"="senior"](area.area_0);
);
(._;>;);
out body;

gives also a point layer

It's normal that a "ways" query gives you also a point layer. These points are part of the "way" returned and they are show in a GIS layer because they have "tags".

[Gustry]

In your "advanced" section of the plugin, you can tick which geometries you want :

Node, way, relation versus points, lines, ...

About the relations, I don't think it's related to QuickOSM, because it's OGR in the background doing this kind of task : https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/osm.html Just keeping track of the data : (because OSM is updated every minute) : export.osm.txt

Thanks for your fast response, much appreciated - I'll check with OGR.

Some more findings:

• There are 24 ways in total according to Overpass-Turbo -> only 22 added (for the "only way query").

• It's not possible to show the feature count in QGIS for the points layer:

• There are two features in the points layer which are not matching the query:

In Overpass turbo, it's not "GIS layers", they can display all results in leaflet with transforming the output of XML files, even complexe relations. In QGIS, GIS layers are more strict in their geometries. OGR can read only a subset of relation, such as type = boundaries, route or multipolygon. There is also a difference in clockwise or anti-clockwise polygons : https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/32617 Can you identify which OSM ID are not in QGIS ?

I can switch the feature count for all layers :

There are two features in the points layer which are not matching the query:

As explained earlier, this is expected. These nodes must have other tags if you scroll to the right. If you query explicitly only ways tagged highway=residential, you will get also a point layer if you have nodes having "important" tags such as highway=crossing or barrier=gate ... If you want only lines, then you must use the checkbox lines.

Thanks again, I think

It's normal that a "ways" query gives you also a point layer. These points are part of the "way" returned and they are show in a GIS layer because they have "tags".

explains it.

Additionally it was confusing to me, that Overpass-Turbo shows 2 relations and there were 2 "extra" points in QGIS.

Have a nice holiday!

Just for completeness:

About the relations, I don't think it's related to QuickOSM

Right, these are two OSM multipolygon buildings, each created from 2 ways.

• https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1488814
• https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11322670

So 26 ways + 2 relations -> 24 (multi-)polygons in QGIS.
