Gameplay Standards are extremely important when mapping a level as they determine how the player will see the world but also how the gameplay will be affected. Building a doorway to small or a ledge too high might result in poor game flow...

108 units wide/ 92 units high (inside the frame) (CoDWaW)
Window Height
32 units from the floor (CoDWaW)
Window frame

Engagement Ranges
512 is a good distance to shoot an SMG at a target and 1024 is a good distance for a rifle.
There is a model in the game called static_opt_eng_dist_guide It has two rings around him, one at 512 and one at 1024. You can drop the model in your level to make sure your geo is not getting too big.
