I'm interested please go on. I have said before that upper tier line probably should go to around row 18 of the lower tier and is probably steeper than allowed making the gap between one larger tier and a 2 tier stand seem bigger but that was just for enhanced effect. The question was put there was no difference in how far from the pitch (if you traced the position of the row back to the floor) by having a two tier non-overlapping stand and that was the point I was trying to make, the depth stays the same but as the riser gaps go up and the line gets steeper you can fit more seats in the same amount of space than if you just had one big tier. This is why we have stadiums with tiers to bring people closer. (Although the distance is actually probably more as the height increases but the raised viewing position allows for a better view)
Over 10 seats on a less steep tier this may not be a huge amount but then as you add more to make it into a real life example it is easily apparent why they do this.
Your horizontal line which represents the floor is the footprint, that is where you mark the rows. Do distance there then divide it into intervals for your chosen leg room.
You should do that before you even draw the lines for your stands. You can then fit on any types of standards on there.
Your seats are horizontal not diagonal.
Give yourself an example of how much leg room are you going to have.
Then work out the footprint for both types.
