What to look at

Equal door heights shrink in proportion to distance: the door at 16 m is a quarter the height of the door at 4 m.

The floor squares give the depth of each door without measuring.

Eye level at 1.6 m cuts every door at the same relative height, the surest sign the drawing is level.
