The key takeaways are the different types of section planes and their definitions, as well as the steps to draw sectional views and determine the true shape of a section based on the characteristics of the cutting plane.

There are four main types of section planes that can be used: 1) perpendicular to one principal plane, 2) parallel to one principal plane, 3) perpendicular or inclined to reference planes, and 4) inclined to principal planes.

The main steps to draw sectional views of an object are: draw projections of the object, draw the cutting plane, locate intersection points, project points to other views, join points to form apparent shape, and add section lines.

Sections of Solids

EXAMPLE : Advantage of using a section view.

SECTIONING A SOLID. An object ( here a solid ) is cut by some imaginary cutting plane, which may be perpendicular to one principle plane, parallel, perpendicular or inclined to other reference plane. to understand internal details of that object. A) Section Plane perpendicular to Vp and inclined to Hp. ( This is a definition of an Aux. Inclined Plane i.e. A.I.P.) NOTE:- This section plane appears as a straight line in FV. B) Section Plane perpendicular to Hp and inclined to Vp. ( This is a definition of an Aux. Vertical Plane i.e. A.V.P.) NOTE:- This section plane appears as a straight line in TV. Remember:1. After launching a section plane either in FV or TV, the part towards observer is assumed to be removed. 2. As far as possible the smaller part is assumed to be removed.

The action of cutting is called SECTIONING a solid & The plane of cutting is called SECTION PLANE.

How to draw section views


Draw the projections of a given solid using thin lines in both of the views (top & front), in uncut condition. Draw the cutting plane as straight line as per the conditions. i.e. perpendicular to H.P & parallel to V.P, perpendicular to V.P and parallel to H.P), inclined at degree above of XY (cutting plane is perpendicular to V.P & inclined to the H.P plane) and inclined at degree below of XY line or in top view (cutting plane is perpendicular to H.P & inclined at to V.P). Locate the points common between the cutting plane line and surface lines of the solid. Serially number the points starting from one end of the cutting plane and moving towards the other end (visible edges then invisible edges). Project these points on other view by drawing inter connecting projections and intersecting the concerned surface lines.

Join the points obtained in previous step by continuous thick lines (curved lines in case cylindrical or conical surface or by straight line in other solids). The apparent section is completed by drawing cross hatching section lines)

Problem 2: A cube of 35 mm long edges is resting on the H.P on one of its faces with a vertical face inclined at 300 to the V.P. It is cut by a section, inclined at 600 to the V.P and perpendicular to the H.P, so that the face which makes 600 angle with the V.P is cut in two equal halves. Draw the sectional front view, top view and true shape of the section.
