Generating geometric attributes in CityGML about 3dfier

[tcommandeur]

<gen:measureAttribute name="min height surface"> and <bldg:measuredHeight uom="#m"> has been available for a while. The min height is the base (floor) height calculated and the measured height is the roof height. However according to http://en.wiki.quality.sig3d.org/index.php/Modeling_Guide_for_3D_Objects_-_Part_2:_Modeling_of_Buildings_(LoD1,_LoD2,_LoD3)#Heights the measured height should be: "The measured or computed difference between the lowest terrain intersection point and the highest roof point".
What should be used?

The bldg:measuredHeight is not defined nor elaborated by the standard. It is only interpreted by the SIG 3D modelling guide as such (though it's a reasonable explanation which I would personally follow).
However, in the context of 3dfier -- there is no percentile equivalent for that, and it's not possible to get the ridge height. Perhaps for the time being we can just use the calculated height for the top of the LOD1 (i.e. same percentile that is used in the yml)? Afaik, at the moment 3dfier cannot get multiple percentile rooftop values simultaneously, so choosing another value would make it complicated.

As implemented in February the roof height is stored in measuredHeight
