Thanks for explaining so clearly. I hope someone does their thesis on this stuff, it really is fascinating.

I don't know if you're familiar with drafting, but when you draw elevations, it's a flat version of 3d objects. I couldn't really read a map until after I learned how to read elevations. You're sort of pushing through and bringing forward objects from a flat drawing. It's also a section, so it's cut through a certain point of a floor plan. I could understand floor plans easily for some reason, but elevations and details were super hard. Then something clicked and I could read maps and all of the different types of drawings. I even remember where I was. Our brains are wild.
