Summary
 What will we learn in Chapter 3?
→ How to create various types of sectional
views. (Sectional views allow you to see
inside an object.)
 Key points
→ Using a sectional view can be very useful
for parts that have complex interior
geometry.

3.1) Sectional Views

Restricted use only
Sectional Views
 A sectional view or 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.
→ By taking an imaginary cut through the
object and removing a portion, the inside
features may be seen more clearly.

 What is this?
 An ugly rock?

Creating a Section View
The part is cut
using an imaginary
cutting plane.

Restricted use only
Creating a Section View
 The unwanted portion is mentally discarded
exposing the interior construction.

cutting plane is

Lines Used in Section Views
 Cutting Plane Line: Used to show where
the object is being cut.
→ (Phantom line type)

Restricted use only
Shows where
the part is being
cut.
Arrows point to
the portion being
kept.
Section
Lines

Restricted use only
 Section Lines: Section lines are used to
indicate where the cutting plane cuts the
material.
→ Section lines are thin lines.
→ Section line symbols are chosen according
to the material of the object
→ Section lines are generally drawn at a 45
angle.

Rules of Sectioning
 Rule 1:
A section
lined area is
always
completely
bounded by a
visible outline.

Restricted use only
Rules of Sectioning
 Rule 2:
The section lines in
all areas should be
parallel.
→ Section lines
shown in opposite
directions indicate
a different part.

Rules of Sectioning
 Rule 3: All the visible edges behind the
cutting plane should be shown.

Restricted use only
Rules of Sectioning
 Rule 4:
Hidden features should
be omitted in all areas of
a section view.
→ Exceptions include
threads and broken out
sections.

Types of Sections
The type of section used depends on
the situation and what information
needs to be conveyed.
Types of sections
→Full Section
→Half Section
→Offset Section
→etc …

Restricted use only
Full Section
 To create a full section, the cutting plane
passes fully through the object.
→ Used in many cases to avoid having to
dimension hidden lines.

Exercise 3-2
Full Section

Restricted use only
Exercise 3-2
 Given the top and right side views, sketch
the front view as a full section.
→ The material used is steel.

Fill in the visible lines in the front full sectional view

Section lines are
bounded by
visible lines
Visible features
behind the cutting
plane are shown.

Restricted use only
Half Section
 A half
section
exposes the
interior of one
half of an
object while
retaining the
exterior of the
other half.

Restricted use only
Half Section
 Half sections
are used
mainly for
symmetric
objects or
assembly
drawings.

Restricted use only
Half Section
 A centerline
is used to
separate the
two halves.
 Hidden lines
should not be
shown on
either half.

Restricted use only
Exercise 3-4
Half Section

Restricted use only
Exercise 3-4
 Given the front and right side views,
sketch the top view as a full section and
create a half sectioned front view.
→ The material is brass.

Fill in the visible lines in the top full section view.

Fill in the section lines in the top full section view.

Fill in the visible lines in the right side half section view.

Fill in the section lines in the right side half section view.

No hidden lines
Center line divides
the halves

Restricted use only
Offset Section
 An offset section is produced by bending
the cutting plane to show features that
don’t lie in the same plane.

Exercise 3-5
Offset Section

Restricted use only
Exercise 3-5
 Given the front and top views, sketch the
three missing section views in their
appropriate places. The material is cast
iron.

Restricted use only
Aligned Section
 In order to
include angled
elements in a
section, the
cutting plane
may be bent so
that it passes
through those
features.

Conventions of Revolution
Features are
revolved to the
projection
plane, and
then projected
over.

Restricted use only
Exercise 3-7
Aligned Section

Restricted use only
Exercise 3-7
 Given the front and unrevolved right side
views, sketch the right side view as an
aligned section using the conventions of
revolution. The material is cast iron.

Fill in the visible
lines in the
sectional view.

Notice how much clearer
the sectional view is.

Restricted use only
Rib and Web Sections
 To avoid a false
impression of
thickness and
solidity, ribs and
webs are not
sectioned.
Cutting
plane

through
the web
No section

area of
web

Restricted use only
Rib and Web Sections
If the cutting
plane passes
crosswise through
the rib or web, we
include section
lines.

Restricted use only
Broken Section
 Sometimes only a partial or broken out
section is needed.
→ Hidden lines are shown in the non-sectioned
area of a broken section.

Restricted use only
Removed Section
 A removed
section is
one that is
not in direct
projection of
the view
containing
the cutting
plane.

Restricted use only
Revolved Section
 The cross sectional shape of an object
may be shown in the longitudinal view by
means of a revolved section.

Restricted use only
Non – Sectioned Parts
 It is common practice to show standard
parts 'in the round' or un-sectioned.
→ Nuts
→ Bolts
→ Rivets
→ Shafts
→ Screws

Restricted use only
Thin Sections
For extremely thin parts of less than 4
mm thickness, the parts should be
shown in solid black or without section
lines.
→ Sheet metal
→ Washers
→ Gaskets
