Drew the same wall in 2D and 3D for a client in Reno, and I picked the wrong one
Last month I had a small job for a guy building a shop on his property outside Reno. He asked for the elevations as simple 2D line drawings, but I pushed for a quick 3D model instead because I thought it would sell the design better. I went with 3D, and I spent about 6 extra hours getting all the trim and window depth to read right. When I sent it over, he called me confused because he could not pull measurements off it. He builds cabinets for a living, so he wanted flat views with clear numbers, not a pretty model. I redrew the whole thing in 2D in one evening, and he approved it the next morning. Honestly it stung a little, but the lesson was that his workflow mattered more than my preference. Anyone else get burned picking fancy over plain when the client only needed clear dims?

Ouch, that hurts when you put in extra effort and it backfires.
