Lacking any cogent arguments, I guess "LMFAO" is the best that you can do.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, if you had a clue about "enineering", you'd realize that real engineers often go to exactly the point of earliest failure. Because they're looking for the causes of failures, and failures spread. The late failures are the "results", and the early ones are the "causes".
And, if your own graph proves it.

Common tfk, my graphs are better than the cited LMFAO. If you look for the earliest failure then look at femr's graph. If you look for earliest sign of perimeter collapse the watch the NE corner when it (horizontally) starts to rotate outwards while the measured point start to rotated inwards.
If you look for maximized perspective "distortion" under the condition of misinterpretation of "downwards" movement then look at the east edge of the louver.
Notice anything about the earliest evidence of the collapse in your curves? On which of your graph lines did it happen? Pretty good job by the "real engineers", no?!
According to your definition that collapse is "downwards" look at the fat yellow graph. That's a straight line between east and west corner.
As I said before, what looks like "downwards" in 2D isn't always downwards in 3D. I know, you had a little discussion with Major Tom about the possibility of a apparent "rising" of the WTC1 top while it actually is falling.
Well, you are right. If for example the top of the tower was leaning >15° towards the Sauret camera in the north and consequently starts to tilt south then it might look like rising for a moment.
Not "feelings". "Knowledge & experience" tell you that. Once you have done it often then you get a "nose for it".
I KNOW that you "can't explain it".
It's been obvious to me since I first read your posts.
Well, that's the reason for the Gifs, you know. Look at this little give away gif. It's about "rising and falling".
Let's say a north shift that nullify a south tilt from different perspectives is nonsense.
That's a large source of your fundamental problem.
...and a little more psychology. What's your problem, Tom?
Why do you see rising when actually falling or falling when it actually goes sidways?
Rulers are pointless. Rulers are wrong.
The fact that you can't figure out what is the CORRECT technique for transposing the point, even tho I explained it precisely, is indicative of your lack of knowledge.
Oh, yes you explained it precisely. I just would add those minor details like roof deformation and perspective shortening. Once your east point reached the house you will get a lot of trouble to track a real corresponding point (at a different scale of course) on the west side. Can you figure out what I mean? Need a little Gif?
I don't say it is impossible to track a movement that way - especially if the preciseness is something like 4 balls per second connected by a trend.
...impossible to distinguish between movement 1 and movement 2.
You are in big trouble because you have no freakin' clue what your measurement really measured.
BTW, I've asked you about 5 times now, and you've refused to answer.
What is your profession?
Chef?
Chauffeur?
Student?
chef, my own one, studied twice, two degrees, connected both, learned something about perspective, your chauffer
Same as it's always been.
1) Live well.
2) Make a difference. (In my case by designing medical devices.)
3) Point out the comedic haplessness of a bunch of clowns that think that, lacking any of the necessary knowledge, they can "correct" the work of 100s of the world's best engineers.
Since one of my studies was "medical engineering" - how does it feel to design medical devices as structural engineer for high rises? Feels it like "I know nothing about it" in the way you argue as structural engineer or would you say that some principles are quite similar.
You know, I dont expect that you can design a tool to measure the blood pressure on the retina but would you say you are able to understand the physical and medical principles? Otherwise don't design medical devices. You could kill someone.
) I'd be all over it by now.
