Measuring Structures for Scratchbuilding

[MasonJar]

One thing to remember is that the taller the structure, or the more angled your shot, the bigger the distortion/perspective issues are. That might make it hard to get an accurate measurement of a really tall or wide building.

Fortunately, many of the digital photo packages allow you to correct distortion, which will lead to a more accurate estimate.

biL - have you tried using Google Sketchup? I'd be interested in your opinion...
