Hello,
I am using ArcMap 10.4.1.
I am still studying the concepts of projections. I understand the ideas behind the developable surfaces and learned from several books that the surfaces are just an idealized way to explain the concepts of projections but that the developable surfaces are not literal in the calculation of a projection. It seems to me that the math behind a projection would be like a vector intersecting the developable plane, normal to the surface, and the calculated change in location from an initial lat-long position, gives the new projected location. However, if the developable surface is not literal in the projection calculation, it
