Does anyone have experience achieving the exemplary point for views. For the 1st option where multiple lines of site are required 90 degrees apart, does that mean that the windows have to be on separate walls (north and west for example) or can I have multiple windows on the same wall to achieve the point (I typically have one whole wall of windows in many rooms)? Also on option 2 (2 views of vegetation, human activity, or objects 70 away), can this work on a multistory building where one would have to look down for vegetation and human activity? I saw examples in another post on documentation for the standard point, but does anyone recommend anything beyond that for the exemplary point? Thanks,

We tried and achieved the EP credit with option 1. Our building allowed for views 90 degrees apart through two different walls. We only had very few areas, where we need to use the 90 degrees and one wall. We interpreted it the same way as you did. I can't say anything about option 2, but I would think that as long as you can see the human activity in the other building, you should be fine. But that's just my opinion on option 2.

Hi Diane and Susann - would one of you be willing to share an example of how you documented the views 90 degrees apart via windows on the same wall? It would sure be appreciated! Thanks.
