Scale anchored to a reviewed measurement
Uniform scaling uses one documented measurement; the visual contour is never deformed to fit a second axis.
Fallingwater (Current)
Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater is shown in its current preserved state as the main house with its stone core and stacked cantilevered terraces. Uniform scale uses the HABS measured 32 ft 9½ in (9.99 m) segment from first-floor datum to the top of the main tower; the waterfall, rock, forest and guest house are excluded.
