This could have gone on for hours for me. Really interesting and such a great way of presenting. Thank you very much Patrick!

Please, what would be the starting point of new project/design starting from scratch, assuming nothing exists yet, is better to draw a front view or top view or side view or iso view first? or it doesnt matter? or what are the inputs required to create something totally new with no existing references?
you must have the final shape/building modelled and projected at least in one plane - is that correct? - and only then from that view all these projections for the 3D cuts could be generated? Thank you.

What a terrible presentation of a fascinating subject. Garbled shouty drivel.

Adjust your attitude; Patrick is a master of his craft and a wonderful educator.
