It's called 'lines_designing' this time, cause we're designing rather than creating the construction lines. As you can see in the drawing, the construction lines are already set up for you in this particular instance. So what we're going to do, we're going to create part of a right side view of a part at a section plane line and then at a break out line as well, just so it all sits nicely in the drawing. And then what we'll do, is we'll turn off the construction lines so you can see the results of your endeavors, as well.
