Distance measurement is incorrect w lateral positioning #4

this is a cake vs pie issue.

aka right now the tool is using pie wedge measurement to determine 10' etc, but it should be floating rectangles or sheet cakes vs pie wedges.

the track markers are representative of only that oval that exists in the center of the track - so in this example both blockers are 10' apart as the shading indicates image (1)

example 1: 2 blockers hugging the inside line on a turn, in reality they're closer to 7' in distance but tool is treating them as if they were 10' image

example 2: 2 blockers hugging the outside line on a turn, wedge makes it appear they are 10' apart but in reality they are closer to 14' image (2)

i've attempted to diagram what needs to be modeled into the code here
