Sectional Views
Introduction
Introduction
Sectional views are used when
important hidden details are in the
interior of an object.
These details appear as hidden lines in
one of the orthographic principal views;
therefore, their shapes are not very well
described
by
pure
orthographic
projection.
Sectional views show how an object
would look if a cutting plane (or saw) cut
through the object and the part in front

Rules of Sectional

Cont
Crosshatching line shows the solid
surface of the object which were cut
through to produce the sectional
drawings.
Adjacent areas divided by visible line in
a sectional view never both contain the
same crosshatching.
Crosshatching is never bounded by
hidden line.
Crosshatching should not run parallel
Cont
Crosshatching line always drawn at 45o
with the horizontal unless there is an
advantage of using a different angles.
The crosshatching lines should be
spaced as uniformly as possible by
eye. It should be uniformly thin (i.e.
not varying in thickness).
Avoid running crosshatching lines
beyond the visible line; and avoid
stopping the line too short.

In the past, different crosshatching line
patterns have been used to indicate
the material of the object.
Now, there are so many different
material types and each general type
has many has many subtypes.
Therefore, the practice now is to use
the cast iron symbol for all materials
and then to detail the specification of
the material in letters in the form of a
note or in the title strip.

Types of Sections
The following are the most common
types of sectional views:
Full section
Half section
Offset section
Broken-out section
Revolved section
Removed section
Types of Sections
1-Full Section:
In a full sectional view, the cutting
plane cuts across the entire object.
Half of the object is removed.
Interior lines behind
became visible.

2-Half Section:
Half section used mainly for symmetric
objects.
In a half sectional view, the cutting
plane do not cut across the entire
object. It cuts only half way and
intersect at the centerline.
A quarter of the object is removed.
Hidden lines are omitted.
Show the cutting plane in the top view

3-Offset Section:
Offset sections are used to show interior
features that do not lie along a straight
line.
In offset section plane, the cutting plane
is bend to show more features.
Offset sectional view does not denote
location of offset.
Show the cutting plane in the top view or
side view; and make an offset section in
the front view.

4-Brocken-out Section:
A broken-out sectional view is created
by breaking off part of the object to
reveal interior features.
Used to section a small portion of a
drawing.
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.

5-Revolved Section:
A revolved section is created by
passing a cutting plane through the
cross section of the object, then
revolving the cross section by 90o.
Revolved section is used to show the
cross-sectional shape of a bar, spoke,
or arm in a single view.
This section is especially helpful when
a cross-section varies.

6-Removed Section:
A removed sectional view is created by
making a cross section, then moving it
to an area adjacent to the view.
Removed section is like
section but moved aside.

Representations
Conventional representations/practices
are accepted drawing techniques.
Used to make sectional views clear
and avoid confusion.
Associated with elongated parts, thin
parts, shafts, pins, ball bearings, roller
bearings, screws and nuts; objects
that have holes, ribs, spokes, or lugs in
any combination equally spaced in a
circular fashion.
