Where do we use Sectional views?
• Parts can have complex internal geometries
• Geometries may not be apparent/visible in the standard orthographic
projections
• Cut-away of part makes it easier to visualize the internal details
• Features which are usual hidden in orthographic views, may be visible
after drawing the sectional view
• Sectional views always show true shapes of features after it has been
sectioned (imagine a saw cutting through the part)
• Improved clarity about different parts and how they interact with each
other in an assembly
Things to remember
• Section views are always created
to show feature in its true form
• Hidden features are not shown in
section views
• Machine components like shafts,
nuts, bolts, pins, keys, bearings are
not sectioned
• Sectioned area is identified by
solid hatched lines usually at 45o,
30o or at 60o
• Cutting plane line is used to
identify the section plane in a view
where it is perpendicular
• In an assembly section, each part is
identified by its individual
hatching style
Different types of sections
• Full section:
• Cutting plane passes entirely through
an object
• Cross section behind the cutting
plane is exposed
• Replaces object’s exterior view with
details of interior features
• Half section:
• Usually ¼ part of the object is
sectioned and exposed using two
cutting planes
• Shows both interior and exterior
features equally in the same drawing
• Used for symmetrical objects
Different types of sections
• Phantom section:
• Details that will be visible after cutting
the part are shown on top of regular
drawing with exterior details
• Short dashed hatched lines are used
instead of solid hatched lines
• Offset section:
• Cutting plane is not in a single plane
• Cutting plane passes through features
that are important for more clarity
• Can be treated as multiple section views
in one
• Revolved section:
• Cutting plane and symmetry axis are
perpendicular
• Section view on the cutting plane is then
rotated and placed over the regular view
• Used to show cross-section of a feature
Different types of sections
• Detail section:
• Similar to Revolved section but not
drawn on top of the regular view
• Can be placed anywhere on the sheet
where space is available
• Aligned section:
• When cutting plane is not parallel to
the view
• Foreshortened section are not allowed
• Section views on the angled plane are
aligned parallel to the view
• Breakout section:
• Partial section view on the normal
drawings
