UNIT IV
PROJECTION OF SECTIONED SOLIDS

Definitions
Cutting plane or section plane :
The imaginary plane which is assumed to cut
the object as required is called a cutting
plane or section plane.
Section :
The surface produced when a section plane
cuts a solid is termed a section.

Definitions
Sectional view :
The drawing showing that part of the object
which is between the plane of projection and
the section plane is called a sectional view.
True Shape of Section :
If a solid is sectioned by a section plane and it
is projected to a plane parallel to it, the
shape of the section obtained will be exactly
the section exposed by the section plane.
This shape is called True Shape of Section.

Definitions
Apparent Shape of Section :
If the section plane is inclined to the plane of
projection, the shape obtained will not be
the true shape. Such a shape is called
Apparent Shape of Section.

mm and height 60 mm, rests with its base on
HP such that one of its larger rectangular
faces is parallel to VP. A section plane
perpendicular to HP and parallel to VP cuts
the prism into two equal halves. Draw its top
