Models the two retail buildings beside the hero from their own photograph rather than the generic kit: bronze cornice, mural row, lettering band, stepped Deco parapet and rounded corner tower on 6800 Lee Drug; burgundy fascia, pilasters, white-framed windows and banded parapet on 6806-6820. Reference analysis written before any geometry (Art/blender/retail/ref-analysis.md), every unmeasured proportion carried into the part report as an assumption. 6822 Budget is deferred, not guessed: no photograph of it exists and the 6.0 x 5.5 m sliver cannot be read out of the neighbour shot. Pipeline fixes found on the way: - render_screenshots.sh called ./Engine/... for the capture step while every commandlet used the absolute path; set -e killed the script at 127 *after* the maps were rebuilt, so screenshots silently stayed a day old. - the facade kit applies to every Frontage_*/North_* actor, so it pasted its own language over the new modelled facades; it now skips them, and the trim stages as RetailTrim_*. - pure bay arithmetic moved to Tools/_common.py so it is unit-testable without Blender (4 new tests, 82 total pass). Known gaps recorded in Screenshots/README.md, not hidden: the parapet reads as a blank band, murals and lettering do not resolve at review distance, the tower is a plain cylinder, and the review camera crops the east end.

Reference analysis — retail frontage, 0.1.6
Phase 0 of the references pack (reference-image-match). Written before any geometry,
because the pass that produced the hero façade skipped it and cost two rebuilds.

| Description | "Lee Drug and 6806 Hollywood Buildings in Hollywood" |
| Coverage | Both target buildings in one frame, mid-morning sun from the south-east |
One photograph is the whole evidence base for 6800 and 6806–6820. It is a street-level oblique, not an elevation: verticals converge, the ground floor of 6806–6820 is partly behind a parked car, and the Lee Drug shopfront is behind a bus. Everything below that the photo does not resolve is marked assumed and is carried into the part report.
6822 Budget has no photograph. It is a 6.0 m × 5.5 m single-storey sliver west of 6806–6820, and the TODO item already records that Commons has nothing usable. It stays a blockout extrusion and the item is deferred rather than guessed.
Measured (not from the photo)
From Geo/raw/osm-api-map-2026-11-06.osm and the blockout, in the shared frame
(metres, X east, Y north, Z from the project datum):
| Building | OSM way | X | Front face Y | Height | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6800 Lee Drug | 424024149 | −33.20 … −14.37 | −14.63 | 12.10 m | 33.5 m |
| 6806–6820 | 424024150 | −66.08 … −33.07 | −12.52 | 12.10 m | 30.8 m |
| 6822 Budget | 424024144 | −78.54 … −72.52 | −12.92 | 5.50 m | 15.4 m |
Both target buildings are 12.10 m tall, which makes the relative proportions in the photo directly usable: the parapet line, the cornice and the shopfront line can be read as fractions of the frame height.
6800 Lee Drug — reading
| Category | Observation |
|---|---|
| Subject | Corner retail block at Hollywood × Highland; the street face and the corner return are both visible |
| Silhouette | Long low box, broken by a rounded corner tower that rises above the frontage parapet; the parapet is stepped, not flat |
| Storeys | Two zones, not storeys: a tall shopfront zone and a single tall display wall above it |
| Proportion (vertical) | Shopfront ≈ 0 → 0.36 H; bronze cornice ≈ 0.36 → 0.43 H; mural + lettering wall ≈ 0.43 → 0.82 H; stepped parapet ≈ 0.82 → 1.0 H (assumed split; read off the frame, ±0.03 H) |
| Proportion (horizontal) | Corner tower occupies ≈ 4 m of the east end; eight mural panels at roughly 2.2 m centres along the frontage |
| Colour | Cream stucco wall #EDE6D8, bronze/brown cornice #6B4A2F, near-black mural plates #1C1A18, dark glazing #20262A (sampled from the frame) |
| Unique features | Stepped Deco parapet with 4 horizontal reveal lines; projecting bronze cornice; row of black celebrity-portrait panels; large dark "SOUVENIRS OF …" lettering on the upper wall; shopfront glazing with slim mullions |
| Mood | 1930s Deco retail, freshly painted, bright midday |
6806–6820 — reading
| Category | Observation |
|---|---|
| Silhouette | Flat-fronted two-storey block; parapet steps up in fins at the west end |
| Proportion (vertical) | Shopfront ≈ 0 → 0.32 H; burgundy fascia band ≈ 0.32 → 0.38 H; window storey ≈ 0.38 → 0.62 H; blank wall + parapet ≈ 0.62 → 1.0 H (assumed) |
| Horizontal | Brown pilaster strips divide the frontage into roughly 3 m bays; seven upper windows across 33 m |
| Colour | Same cream stucco; brown pilasters #6B4A2F; burgundy-green fascia #5B3A3A; white window frames |
| Unique features | Banded parapet with 3 reveal lines; white-framed upper windows with security bars; shopfront glazing behind a burgundy fascia |
Camera match (for the review shot)
The photo is a street-level oblique from the north side looking south-east, subject filling ~80 % of the frame width. The demo review shot must reproduce that: camera at 1.7 m on the north sidewalk, yaw toward the south frontage, 35–42° lens, both buildings in frame. A wide block view will not compare usefully against this crop.
Assumptions to carry into the model report
- Vertical proportions, as above — the photo's convergence makes a pixel-perfect read impossible.
- Mural panel size and spacing; the lettering is modelled as a recessed plate, not as text.
- Shopfront bay spacing on both buildings; the bus hides most of Lee Drug's ground floor.
- Parapet reveal line count (4 on Lee Drug, 3 on 6806–6820).
- Corner tower radius; only the outer curve is visible.
