Measured monitor/computer geometry; room lighting is not modeled. Published width and depth define the solid footprints; screen stands are included where their dimensions are published. * Dashed footprints are schematic estimates. Screens have a 20 mm gap. Tower cases, mice and accessories without verified footprints are not drawn to scale. This planning arrangement does not certify clearance, desk load or cable routing.
