Sett paving, formed from natural stones cut usually (but not necessarily) to a regular shape (contrast with surface=unhewn_cobblestone where the stones are not cut at all). The stones are not entirely flat and typically do not cover the surface completely, unlike surface=paving_stones.

• 
  Interleaved rectangular setts
• 
  Square setts in an arc pattern
• 
  Irregular stones with a cut top
• 
  Artistic stone pavement style

Subtags

• sett:style=*: style of the pavement, see § Style below.
• sett:length=*: size of the individual stones (see also paving stones:length=*).

Shape

sett:shape=* describes the shape of the individual setts. The following are some possible values:

• 
  sett:shape=rectangle
• 
  sett:shape=square
• 
  sett:shape=irregular

Pattern

sett:pattern=* describes how the setts stones are arranged.

• 
  sett:pattern=interleaved
• 
  sett:pattern=arc
•

Style

sett:style=* describes the style of the sett pavement. The following are some possible values:

• 
  sett:style=portuguese
• 
  sett:style=mosaic

Size

sett:length=* describes the size of the individual sett stones. Values in meter (e.g. sett:length=0.1) or with given unit (e.g. sett:length=10 cm). Typical sizes are:

• 
  sett:length=0.15 large stone paving (from a size of about 15 cm)
• 
  sett:length=0.1 small stone paving (stone size around 10 cm)
• 
  sett:length=0.05 mosaic paving (stone size around 5 cm)
