A senior drafter ripped my section view and I'm actually grateful now

This old-timer at my shop told me my section lines were too cluttered and confusing, specifically pointing out I was cross-hatching everything including air gaps. I took his advice and started using simplified hatch patterns with break lines instead, and my prints went from looking like a mess to actually readable in about 2 weeks. Has anyone else had a veteran drafter save them from bad habits?.

Wait, you were cross hatching AIR GAPS?! That's WILD. I thought I was the only one who did stupid stuff starting out, but that takes the CAKE.

Wait did you actually try to make tiny air gaps with hatch marks like some kind of mesh?
