Section Views
PURPOSES OF
       SECTION VIEWS
Clarify the views by
 reducing or eliminating the hidden lines.
 revealing the cross sectional’s shape.

Facilitate the dimensioning.


           Let See the

Terminology and
common practices
CUTTING PLANE
Cutting plane is a plane that imaginarily cuts
the object to reveal the internal features.

CUTTING PLANE LINE
Cutting plane line is an edge view of the cutting
plane.




                              Indicate the path
                               of cutting plane.

SECTION LINING
Section lines or cross-hatch lines are used to
indicate the surfaces that are cut by the cutting
plane.

 Drawn with 4H pencil.
SECTION LINES SYMBOLS
     The section lines are different for each of
     material’s type.
      For practical purpose, the cast iron symbol is
      used most often for any materials.

SECTION LINING PRACTICE
The spaces between lines may vary from 1.5 mm
for small sections to 3 mm for large sections.

                      COMMON MISTAKE
SECTION LINING PRACTICE
It should not be drawn parallel or perpendicular
to contour of the view.

1. Full section
2. Offset section
3. Half section
4. Broken-out section
5. Revolved section (aligned section)
6. Removed section (detailed section)
FULL SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the straight cutting
plane completely through the part.
Full Sections
                 In Full Sections,
                  one-half of the part
                  is removed.
                 (Technically, the
                  cutting plane may be
                  placed anywhere,
                  but it should always
                  be placed where the
                  most information can
                  be depicted in the

                             drawing, the cutting
                             plane is not
                             considered
                             necessary.

TREATMENT OF HIDDEN LINES
 Hidden lines are normally omitted from section
 views.
HALF SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the cutting plane halfway
through an object and remove a quarter of it.
HALF SECTION VIEW
A center line is used to separate the sectioned half
from the unsectioned half of the view.
Hidden line is omitted in unsection half of the view.
HALF SECTION VIEW
HALF SECTION VIEW
BROKEN-OUT SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the cutting plane normal
to the viewing direction and removing the portion of an
object in front of it.
BROKEN-OUT SECTION VIEW

A break line is used to separate
the sectioned portion from the
unsectioned portion of the view.

Break line is a thin continuous
line (4H) and is drawn freehand.

There is no cutting plane line.
EXAMPLE : Comparison among several section techniques
REVOLVED SECTION VIEW

Revolved sections show cross-sectional
features of a part.

 No need for additional orthographic
views.
This section is especially helpful when a
cross-section varies.

Dimensioning
in Section View
In most cases, dimensioning of the section views
follows the typical rules of dimensioning.

POOR               GOOD

DIMENSIONING


For a half-section view,
use dimension line with
only one arrowhead that
points to the position inside
the sectioned portion.
