Surface
Face surface (reference)
A canonical face surface registered to this skull at six paired levels (nasion, eyes, subnasale, incisal edge, pogonion, menton) using published adult male soft-tissue thicknesses. It is a reference envelope, not a scan of this individual.
What it is
A canonical face surface registered to this skull at six paired levels (nasion, eyes, subnasale, incisal edge, pogonion, menton) using published adult male soft-tissue thicknesses. It is a reference envelope, not a scan of this individual.
How the Codex reads it
Everything READ observes is read on this surface: the OGEE on three-quarter view, the profile plane, the lid-cheek junction, the jawline continuity, the frame and the skin. Everything BUILD does is judged by how this surface reads afterwards.

Every number in this atlas cites the study it came from. The full method, including what this site withholds on purpose, is on sources and method.
This site teaches one level above the Codex's working manual: the architecture is public, the coordinates are not. This page withholds entry points, landmark constructions, volumes and read-to-point routing, exactly as the atlas does. What is shown and what is withheld.
