Challenge 1: Two Objects Looking Misaligned in Perspective View — Solution Walkthrough

The answer:

Per this chapter's own material, switching to Orthographic view
resolves this confusion. Perspective view shows depth realistically,
meaning objects farther away appear smaller — this can make two
objects that are genuinely aligned in 3D space look subtly offset from
certain angles, purely because of that depth distortion.

Why Orthographic view is specifically the right fix:

Orthographic view removes perspective distortion entirely, showing
objects at a consistent scale regardless of distance. Once switched
to Orthographic, any apparent misalignment caused purely by depth
perspective disappears, revealing the objects' own true relative
positions without that visual distortion getting in the way.

Why this matters for precise alignment work generally:

Per this chapter's own material, this is exactly why Orthographic view
exists as a genuinely useful option — precise alignment checks are
easily thrown off by perspective's own realistic depth distortion, and
Orthographic view is built specifically to eliminate that source of
confusion.

WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER
------------------------------
This exercise checks that apparent misalignment caused by perspective
distortion is correctly resolved by switching to Orthographic view,
rather than assuming the objects are actually misaligned.
