his ability to hold a 3D image in his mind, tweak and rotate it, and then put it on paper, is something innate.

This is coincidentally a symptom of dyslexia, so you are right to think of it as something innate, unfortunately. It's also why so many architects are dyslexic.

He was trying to explain how it is one time, and he showed me by drawing a picture of a galloping horse, but he didn't sketch it out and then fill in the detail. He started at the nose and did it in full detail, left to right, like he was uncovering the drawing by lifting a sheet. It was really amazing.
