The schematic is theoretically in 400 range, but not the model itself.
The schematic cheats to make the decks look correct.
USS Enterprise (eventually) on Discovery?

Also, the Brady Bunch house.
If you were to look at an official, canon cross section of the Millennium Falcon, and then look at the actual set plans, they don’t line up at all. The set as seen on screen, would not fit in the exterior design, so artistic liberties have to be made when making interior drawings.
Yup. Interior continuity is a pain and part of movie magic. And books, and internet forums, spend the next century debating it forever.
The Friends apartment example is very apt. One apartment is clearly taller and makes no sense in continuity of the building and show.
Indent in the roof. Joey and Chandler have no windows. And a chick.
According to Trekcore, Michael Burnham says "all 203 crew acounted for" standing in front of the chart saying "430/43 officers,387 crew".
The series hasn't even started yet and we're back in Starbase One-level of dialogue/visual disconnect.

FWIW, here's the page from Franz Joseph Schnaubelt's 1975 Star Fleet Technical Manual they got their stats from:
It's the weirdest thing, I love that they referenced a book from my childhood but they've managed to botch the execution pretty badly.

we're clear that these figures are about as valuable as the random, meaningless strings of numbers that appear on screen in just about every episode of star trek, right?
You could probably find similar situations in the other series. Nothing new.
What I find interesting, is that he nearly predicted the phaser layout for the Refit Connie.
Although I wonder why he put the photon torpedoes on the bridge dome.
FWIW, the Discoprise with a height of 72.5m works out ot a length of 368m... but all the stats for nacelles and saucer diameter don't match.
They made a deliberate effort to put meaningful numbers (albeit meaningful only to 0.1% of the viewership) in there on a screen big enough to read as the characters stand in front of it.
The image is from off camera BTS footage, for all we know in the final episode the screen will be out of focus and unreadable.They made a deliberate effort to put meaningful numbers (albeit meaningful only to 0.1% of the viewership) in there on a screen big enough to read as the characters stand in front of it.
Actually, I don't think we've ever had characters saying one thing while standing in front of something directly contradicting it before.
They used FJ's blueprints and pages from the Tech Manual as a starting point for those details on the movie ship. They also appeared as bridge graphics in movies I-III and some season one TNG.

Just saw this... And you can see some of the measurements.

We've been talking about this for the last 4 pages.Just saw this...
Although that one is a lot more legible then some of the ones posted.
That’s why I posted it, as it looks quite clear close up...
