What the chart shows
What the chart adds
The chart shows the selected 82,800 cm / 2716'6.4" height on one scale, including the stepped taper and full architectural height. A 170 cm person is less than two SVG pixels at this scale, so the on-page comparison keeps the tower true-scale and uses a small baseline marker for the person.
