Abstract  
Aims: Visual illusions are the most common perceptual illusions, but in urban literature are less addressed. Therefore, the present study seeks to achieve a new approach to analyzing the visual illusion in the layout of urban space elements.
Methodology: This research was conducted in 2021 and included scientific-research articles in the field of visual error perception during the years 2000-2020. In this meta-method analysis, all Google ScienceDirect, research gate, and GoogleScholar were examined for classification into research data. 30 related articles were chosen. Design based on meta-method analysis, for perceiving the mechanism of visual error perception in the arrangement of urban elements and locating the focal point in the city, visual error "change the size-distance of urban landscapes", as a developmental and experimental method, in a sample of urban space with focal point and background Visually modeled using SketchUp 2017 software.
Findings: The main components of the methodology of the visual illusion studies were determined by using the metamethod combined method. Based on this methodology, a specific Visual illusion of the change of the size in 3d urban space and Landolt C visual acuity chart was modeled by using SketchUp software. The specific nature of this visual illusion w:as char:acterized, and the ability of the SketchUp software and the visual acuity chart of Landolt C in the analysis of the Visual illusion was determined. 
Conclusion: A Turning and design point, namely point M, was presented By modeling the size perception illusion. Hence the focal point of urban space with comparison its background before and after point M is perceived differently. This point and its specific illusion create a specific potential for planning the urban spatial system and the dominance of focal points in specific tourism and memorial corridors.
