How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Single bed is labelled example; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • Double bed is labelled example; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
