    The document discusses sections of solids and section planes. It defines a section as the surface produced when an object is cut by an imaginary section plane. Section lines on drawings indicate the cut surface and are shown as uniformly spaced, inclined lines at 45 degrees. A sectional view projects both the cut section and the remaining portion of the object. Examples are given of different section planes - parallel to the horizontal or vertical plane, perpendicular to one and inclined to the other. Specific problems are provided to illustrate drawing the projections of solids cut by variously oriented section planes.

    SECTIONS OF SOLIDS

    The action of cutting is called


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

    Invisible features of an object are shown by dotted lines in their projected views.

    But when such features are too many, these lines make the views more complicated

    and difficult to interpret.


    In such cases, it is customary to imagine the object as being cut through or
    sectioned by planes. The part of the object between the cutting plane and the
    observer is assumed to be removed and the view is then shown in section.
    The imaginary plane is called a section plane or a cutting plane. The surface produced by cutting the object by the

    section plane is called the section. It is indicated by thin section lines uniformly spaced and inclined at 45°.

    The projection of the section along with the remaining portion of the object is called a sectional view.

    Sometimes, only the word section is also used to denote a sectional view.
    In this chapter sections of different solids are explained in stages as follows:
    1. Sections of prisms (CUBE)
    2. Sections of pyramids
    3.cylinder

    These are illustrated according to the position of the section plane with reference to the principal planes
    as follows:
    (1) Section plane parallel to the V.P.
    (2) Section plane parallel to the H.P.
    (3) Section plane perpendicular to the H.P. and inclined to the V.P.
    (4) Section plane perpendicular to the V.P. and inclined to the H.P.
    Section plane parallel to the H.P.
    The projection of the section, on a plane parallel to the section plane will show the
    true shape of the section.
    Thus, when the section plane is parallel to the H.P. or the ground, the true shape of
    the section will be seen in sectional top view.
    Q1 .A pentagonal pyramid with side of base 30 and axis 60 long, is resting with its

    base on H.P and one of the edges of its base is perpendicular to V.P. It is cut by a

    section plane parallel to the H.P. and passing through the axis at a point 35 mm

    above the base. Draw the projections of the remaining solid.


    Section plane inclined to H.P and perpendicular to V.P.
    Q2.A cube of 50 mm long edges is resting on the H.P with a vertical face inclined at 30° to the V.P. It

    is cut by a section plane perpendicular to the V.P, inclined at 30° to the H.P and passing through a

    point on the axis, 38 mm above H.P. Draw the sectional top view.
    Q3. A cylinder of 45mm diameter and 70 long, is resting on one of its base on H.P. It is cut by a section

    plane , inclined at 600 to H.P and passing through a point on the axis at 16 from top end. Draw the front

    view and top view of the solid.
