Section Views PDF

A section view shows a cutaway view of an object to reveal internal or hidden details. There are several types of section views including full sections, half sections, offset sections, and broken-out sections. Section lining is used to indicate cut areas and various line patterns and angles can be used. Assembly sections specifically show how multiple parts fit together.

Drawing Section Views

What is a “Section View” ?


 A section view is a view used on a drawing to
show an area or hidden part of an object by
cutting away or removing some of that
object.
 The cut line is called a “cutting plane”, and
can be done in several ways.
 The following slides will help show the several
methods or types of “section views”
Visualizing the Cutting Plane
 It is very important to Visualize what the part will
look like after it is cut open.
 Choosing the type of section and location of the
cutting plane.
 Making the cut and drawing the view in the proper
location.
Full Section
 In a full section, the cutting plane line
passes fully through the part.
 Normally a view is replaced with the full
section view.
 The section-lined areas are those
portions that have been in actual
contact with the cutting-plane.
Full Section
Replacing the view
Half Section
 Half Section is used to the exterior and
interior of the part in the same view.
 The cutting-plane line cuts halfway
through the part and removes one
quarter of the material.
 The line that separates the different
types (interior and exterior) may be a
centerline or a visible line.
Half Section
Section Lining
 Materials – Common
materials
 The symbol for cast iron
can be used for most
section views.
 Refer to any common
drafting text for
additional symbols.
Section Lining
 45 degree angle lines should be used.
 1/8” between lines.
 All lines should be uniformly spaced
 Thin sections may be blackened in
completely
 Spacing lines by eye increases speed
Section Lining
Section Lining – Line Placement
 Lines should never be parallel or
perpendicular to the object lines.
 If the outline of the object has 45
degree lines, 30 or 60 degree lines
should be used.
 Assemblies with several parts should be
lined with varying angle section lines.
Section Lining – Line Placement
Offset Sections
 Used to show parts and features that
do not line up with each other.
 Cutting-plane line does not travel in a
straight line.
 The offsets or bends in the cutting-
plane line do not show in the section.
 The versatility of this section makes it
very useful.
Offset Sections
Aligned Sections
 Usually used on symmetrical circular
parts.
 Place the cutting-plane line to show the
most detail.
 All parts and details are rotated into the
section view.
 Ribs and spokes can be left un-lined for
better clarity in the section view.
Aligned Section
Revolved Sections
 Used to show a small portion of a
drawing.
 Show a cross-section of an area turned
90 degrees or perpendicular to the
object.
 Put into a drawing to show an area not
normally shown.
Revolved Sections
Broken-out Sections
 Used to generate a section for a small
area without using a cutting-plane line.
 Removes a small amount of material to
show the interior details.
 Always used in an orthographic view.
 Used to enhance the orthographic view
by giving the viewer a better look at
key interior details.
Broken-out Sections
Sectioning Shafts
 Used to show a break in a longer part
allowing better used of drawing surface.
 Gives the impression of a 3-D break on the
shaft.
 Adds a touch of flair to the drawing.
Sectioning Shafts
Assembly Sections
 Shows how parts fit together
 Allows better clarity with a complicated
assembly of parts.
 Shows how parts not only fit together,
but allows for a visual view of how they
function.
