A quick reference for the numbers and statistics that any Team Fortress 2 level designer should know.

Model sizes

These are the minimum empty space dimensions required for a model to fit and function in the game. Players can move through spaces with these dimensions, and Engineer structures can be built and operate in them. All sizes are in Hammer Units.

Model Height Width / Depth
Player (standing) 83 49
Player (ducking) 56 49
Sentry Gun (level 3) 87 49
Dispenser 83 49
Teleporter 95 57
Maximum 95 57

Jump distances

The maximum jump clearances for each class, in Hammer units. A player can clear a gap that is as wide as the Horizontal clearance for his class. He can climb a ledge that is as tall as his Vertical clearance. Without jumping a player can climb a vertical height of 18 units (the largest single step of a stairs).

Class Horizontal Vertical
Scout ? 70
(Double Jump) ? 117
Soldier ? 70
(Single Rocket Jump) ? 448
(Max Single Rocket Jump) ? 576
(Rocket Jump - Wall Climb) ? over 1024
(Rocket Jump - Wall Climb 4 Rockets) ? ~1500
Pyro ? 70
Demoman ? 70
(Single Sticky Jump) ? 728
(Max Single Sticky Jump) ? 984
(Double Sticky Jump) ? over 1536
(Continuous Sticky Jump - Wall Climb) ? over 1536
Heavy ? 70
Engineer ? 70
(Dispenser Jump) ? 153
Medic ? 70
Sniper ? 70
Spy ? 70
Any Class with Medic Syringe Gun Boost ? over 1536
Maximum ? over 1536

Note: All jumps require crouching after jumping in order to reach a ledge at the given height, otherwise vertical clearance is 27 units less. Max Rocket and Sticky jumps require additional skills taught at TF2Training Steam Community. Wall Climb requires a Soldier to shoot the wall before reaching the peak of a Rocket Jump and requires a Demoman to attach a sticky to the wall and detonate it before reaching the peak of a Sticky Jump. Mappers should keep in mind the limitations of the average player to allow them access to necessary areas while gifting advanced players with access to secret/advantageous areas. Medic Syringe Gun Boost is where a medic shoots upward and a player jumps into the stream.
