Working assumptions

Adult mode uses a UK adult female standing-height baseline of 1.62m. Estimated seated eye height is calculated as 0.43m nominal seat height plus 45.5% of standing height, giving 1.17m above the row platform. Child mode remains a conservative 0.86m seated eye-height assumption. Side-on front-row distance defaults to 14.9m from the marked-up Hydro crop, while end-on defaults to 6.0m. Visibility flags are 0-9.99% Blocked, 10-49.99% Restricted, 50-74.99% OK, and 75%+ Best ice view. The model treats the 4 ft dasher as solid and does not yet include Plexi transparency, heads in rows in front, handrails, camera positions, or vomitory structures.
