    Section views reveal interior features of parts and structures by using an imaginary cutting plane to cut through the object. They are used across engineering disciplines and in 3D views to describe complicated assemblies. Reasons for using section views include reducing hidden lines and improving clarity. Different standard section view types exist, such as full, half, broken-out, and revolved sections. Special conventions are followed for features like ribs, webs, and lugs and for aligned sections. Section views are created on CAD models using defined cutting planes.

    Sectional Views

    KCEC 1101
    ‰ Section views are an important aspect of design and
    documentation and are used to improve clarity and reveal
    interior features of the parts and structures.

    Figure shows a regular


    multiview drawing and a
    sectioned multiview
    drawing of the same part
    I the front view; the
    hidden features can be
    seen after sectioning.
    ‰ Cutting plane: Traditional section views are based on used
    of an imaginary cutting plane that cut through the object to
    reveal interior features
    ‰ Sectional views are used in every engineering discipline.
    In 3D views, sectional technical illustration are used to
    describe interior features of complicated assemblies (see
    figure below).

    Sectional views
    ‰ An important reason for
    using section views is to
    reduce the number of hidden
    lines in a drawing.
    ‰ However, when a minimum
    number of hidden lines are
    needed to represent features
    other than primary one
    shown by the section

    Optional use of hidden lines


    ‰ Visible surfaces and
    edges that represent a
    change of plane behind
    the cutting plane are
    drawn in section view.
    Example of defining a cutting
    plane on a CAD model
    Placement
    of cutting
    plane lines
    ‰ The cutting plane line is
    placed in the view
    where the cutting plane
    appears on edge.
    Standard cutting plane line styles
    ANSI standard
    section lines for
    various materials

    The angle at which section


    lines are drawn is usually
    45 degrees to the
    horizontal, but this can be
    changed for adjacent parts
    shown in the same section
    (135 degrees)

    The sectional lines should


    be evenly equal space and
    should be thinner than
    visible lines
    Section view types
    ‰ There are many different types of section
    views used on technical drawings:
    ƒ Full section
    ƒ Half section
    ƒ Broken-out section
    ƒ Revolved section
    ƒ Removed section
    ƒ Assembly section
    ƒ Auxiliary section
    Full section
    Haft Sections
    Broken-out section
    Revolved section
    Removed section
    Removed section
    Offset section
    Multiple
    offset section
    Assembly section
    Auxiliary section

    Full auxiliary view Partial auxiliary view


    Special sectioning conventions
    ‰ Ribs, webs, and lugs are special types of features
    commonly found in mechanical components. These
    types of features require special treatment in section
    views.
    ‰ Adding section lines to these features would give the
    false impression that the part is thicker than it really is.
    Webs in section views
    Thin features such as webs, are left
    unsectioned when cut parallel to the
    feature by the cutting plane
    Aligned sections
    ‰ Aligned sections are special types of orthographic
    drawings used to revolve or align special features of
    parts in order to clarify them or make them easier to
    represent in section
    Aligning spokes in the section views is the
    conventional method of representation
    Aligning lugs in the section views is the
    conventional method of representation
    Conventional
    breaks

    Conventional breaks
    are used for revolved
    section views or for
    shortening the view of
    an elongated part,
    such as a shovel
    handle or vehicle axle.
