My buddy Mike in Toledo said my isometric view was 'giving him vertigo'

We were looking at a P&ID I drafted for a small brewery expansion, and he pointed at a pipe run and said, 'Dude, that angle looks like a 45, but the scale says it's a 30. My brain can't handle it.' I'd been eyeballing that detail for a week and never caught it. Anyone else ever have a client call out a visual trick your own eyes just accepted?

My boss once approved a typo for a month.

Honestly, I'm with Mike on this one. Isometrics can play weird tricks, and a fresh set of eyes always spots the stuff you've stared at too long. I've had a checker point out a fitting I drew backwards for days. It just looked right to me until someone said it.

Yeah, that "stared at too long" thing is real. I have to walk away from my screen for ten minutes to reset my eyes sometimes.
