Planes and angles
Labiomental angle
Lower lip, labiomental fold, soft-tissue pogonion. Normal range 110 to 130 degrees; the most attractive silhouettes cluster at 107 to 118 degrees, with values up to about 140 still acceptable.
What it is

How the Codex reads it
READ item A2 measures it. Below 110 degrees the crease reads as a notch and Detail's labiomental region becomes eligible.

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.
