Session 11

This document discusses section views in engineering drawings. It begins with an introduction and overview of the purposes of section views, which are to clarify views by reducing hidden lines and revealing cross-sectional shapes, and to facilitate dimensioning. The document then covers terminology including cutting plane, cutting plane line, and section lines. It discusses different types of section views such as full, offset, half, broken-out, and revolved sections. Guidelines are provided for dimensioning in section views. Finally, an activity is presented asking the reader to draw an object with isometric and three orthographic views including a sectional side view.

Introduction

PURPOSES OF
SECTION VIEWS
Clarify the views by
reducing or eliminating the hidden lines.
revealing the cross sectionals shape.

Facilitate the dimensioning.

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
materials type.
For practical purpose, the cast iron symbol is
used most often for any materials.

Cast iron,
Malleable iron

Steel

Concrete

Sand

Wood

SECTION LINING PRACTICE


The spaces between lines may vary from 1.5 mm
for small sections to 3 mm for large sections.
COMMON MISTAKE

Kinds of Sections

KIND OF SECTIONS
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.

OFFSET SECTION VIEW


The view is made by passing the bended cutting
plane completely through the part.

Do not show the edge views


of the cutting plane.

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.

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.

Dimensioning
in Section View

In most cases, dimensioning of the section views


follows the typical rules of dimensioning.

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