What are azimuth and altitude use to describe?
Azimuth is the angle, typically using true north as zero degrees to an object from viewers location. An altitude (if expressed as an elevation angle from the viewer) provides a line of sight to an object in space. If you were standing at a point and facing true north and there was an airplane flying at 20,000 ft and you knew the elevation angle you could compute the range and have an (X,Y,Z) location for the object.

When an elevation drawing says north does that mean looking north or north side?
There are two schools of thought regarding elevation views of buildings. Some say that when you are standing to the north of a building, you are looking at the North Elevation, because THAT is the side that is FACING North. Others say that since you are LOOKING to the South, you are looking at the South Elevation. I myself am baffled that there is even this confusion. Consider this. If you are looking at a house and you can see the front door and the front side of the house, you naturally call this the Front Elevation. There is no ambiguity. You wouldn't think to argue that because you are LOOKING in the DIRECTION of the rear of the building, that you are looking at the rear elevation? That would make no sense at all! So why do some then insist that the name of the elevation is based on the direction you are looking? The North Elevation is the North side of the building. That's it, done!
What if elevation did not exist?
