This section will cover the different types of section views, corresponding technical vocabulary, and help you determine which section view would best communicate important aspects of an object or assembly to others.
- Cutting Plane. A surface cut by the saw in the drawing above is a cutting plane. Actually, it is an imaginary cutting plane taken through the object, since the object is imagined as being cut through at a desired location.
- Cutting Plane Line. A cutting plane is represented on a drawing by a cutting plane line. This is a heavy long-short-short-long kind of line terminated with arrows.
- Section Lining. The lines in the figure above, which look like saw marks, are called section lining. They are found on most sectional views, and indicate the surface which has been exposed by the cutting plane.
- Full Sections. When a cutting plane line passes entirely through an object, the resulting section is called a full section Fig. 7 illustrates a full section.

A sectional view represents the part of an object remaining after a portion is assumed to have been cut and removed.The exposed cut surface is then indicated by section lines.Hidden features behind the cutting plane are omitted, unless required for dimensioning or for definition of the part.Section lines, or hatching, that represent the cut surface usually consist of thin parallel lines, as shown below, drawn at an angle of approximately 45° to the principal edges or axes of the part. For most purposes, the general use symbol of cast iron is used. When it is desired to indicate differences in materials, for example on assembly drawing...
Cutting plane lines which show where the cutting plane passes through the object, represent the edge viewof the cutting plane and are drawn in the view(s) adjacent to the section view. Here the cutting plane is drawn as an edge in the top view, which is adjacent to the sectioned front view. This is a frontal cutting plane. Lines of sight should alw...
Whenever practicable, and except for revolved sections, you should project sectional views perpendicular to the cutting plane and place it in the normal position for third angle projection.You should never show the views in first angle projected position on a third angle projection drawing.When the preferred placement is not practical you may remove the sectional view to some other convenient position on the drawing, but it must be clearly identified, usually by two capital letters,...Normally, you should not change orientation of the view, but if this becomes necessary, you must state the number of degrees through which it is revolved.Apr 10, 2024 · One of the most common type of CAD drawing views, section view offer a unique perspective by slicing through an object to reveal its internal features, dimensions, and relationships.
What is a section view? A sectional view or a section looks inside an object. Sections are used to clarify the interior construction of a part that can not be clearly described by hidden lines in exterior views.
A Section or cross section is a view generated from a part or assembly on a cutting plane or multiple cutting planes that reveals the outlines on the inside or assembly fits. Sections normally comprise of two parts, firstly the Section Cut indicator with identification.
Jun 28, 2022 · A revolved section shows the shape of an object by rotating a section 90 degrees to face the viewer. The three revolved sections illustrated in the spear-like object of figure 12 show the changes that take place in its shape.
