Sectional views show interior details of an object by depicting what the object would look like if cut by an imaginary cutting plane. Key details include:
1) Cross hatching is used in section views to indicate surfaces cut by the cutting plane.
2) A cutting plane line indicates where the object was cut.
3) Section views can replace standard orthographic views by revealing hidden interior features.

Sectional Views
Introduction Sections are used to show interior details clearly. A cutting-plane line shows where object was cut to obtain the section view.
Cross hatching in the section view shows the solid surface of the object which were cut through to produce the section. Section views may replace standard views. Conventional practices, such as not showing hatching on ribs and webs, help make sections easier to interpret correctly.
Full Section
Imagine the object cut through by the cutting plane. Think of the two halves pulled apart and a view looking on to the cut half.
Full Sections
Full sections show the object cut in half Cutting plane line can be left out because it is understood to be through center Usually replaces a standard view
The Cutting Plane Line
The cutting plane line is a thick dark line which uses one of the special patterns shown above. The cutting plane line can be left out when it is obvious where it must lie from the appearance of the section itself.
Hatch Patterns
Cutting Planes & Sections
Lines in the Section View
show lines that may have been previously hidden, but are now visible behind cutting plane usually dont show hidden lines in section-- section views are to make interior details clear without hidden lines show hidden lines only when the object would be misinterpreted if they were not shown.
Some Rules for Hatching
Adjacent areas divided by a visible line in a section view never both contain hatching. Hatching is never bounded by a hidden line. Hatching should not run parallel or perpendicular to a major feature.
Dimension Values & Hatching
Sectional views are often used to show interior features clearly for dimensioning. If dimension values or extension lines cross hatched areas, you should break the hatching behind the dimension. The best practice is to place dimensions outside the object outline.
Half-Sections
Broken-out Sections
Half-section with break around a keyway
Revolved Sections
Revolved sections are used to show the crosssectional shape of a bar, spoke, or arm in a single view. The cross-section is taken perpendicular to the view and then revolved 90 degrees around the center axis.
Examples of Revolved Sections
Offset Sections
Three Offset Sections
Notice the ends of the cutting plane labeled with letters and the sections views neatly arranged and labeled to match.
Do not hatch ribs & webs
When ribs, webs, and other thin flat parts are hatched, it gives a false impression of the objects solidity. Leave the hatching of such features even though the cutting plane passes through them.
Aligned Sections Aligned sections use an angled cutting plane to pass through angled features. The plane and feature are then imagined to be revolved into the original plane and the section projected from there
