Sectional Drawing Views

Sectional views allow visualization of interior portions of objects by imagining a cut through the object to reveal its inner structure. Section lines are drawn at oblique angles to indicate the cut plane. The cut material is hatched with patterns representing the actual material. The cutting plane line, labeled with a letter, represents the edge view and shows the direction of sight for the sectional view. There are several types of sections including full, half, offset, aligned, revolved, and removed sections that are used to clearly depict internal features in different ways.

Sectional Drawing Views

 Sections, or sectional views, are used


to describe the interior portions of an
object that are otherwise difficult to
visualize
 Section views are used to get rid of
the confusing hidden lines. They are
a way to, in our imagination, cut
through an object and create an
orthographic view inside the object. 
It is as if the object were cut in two.
Normally the sectional view takes
Section Lines
 Usually drawn equally spaced and at
a 45°angle
( alternative angles: 30°,60°)
 Larger parts have larger spacing
 May not be drawn parallel or
perpendicular to any line of the
object
 Never draw horizontal or vertical
 Draw at opposite angles on adjacent
parts
 Use general section lines or coded
section lines
 The material that is supposedly cut is
"Hatched" with patterns.  The
patterns often depict the actual
material of the object. The most
commonly used is the cast iron or
general use.
Cutting Plane Line
 A thick line that represents the edge
view of a cutting plane through a
part.
 The cutting plane line is capped on
the ends with arrowheads that show
direction of sight of the sectional
view.
 The cutting plane line and related
sections should be labeled with
letters beginning with “A.”

Types of Sections

 Full Sections
 Half Sections
 Offset Sections
 Aligned Sections
 Revolved Sections
 Removed Sections
Full Sections
The cutting plane extends straight through the
object. Notice that the 45 ° sections are shown
where the cutting plane cuts through the actual
material of the object.

Half Sections
 Half Section Views are used primarily on
symmetrically shaped objects. They cut
through half of the object.

Offset Sections
 Offset Section Views are like full section views
except that the Cutting Plane bends to follow
certain features inside the object.

Revolved Sections
 Revolved Views are a shortcut way to show a section view
that shows the internal shape of an object without creating
a completely separate section view.    The cutting plane
passes through the object at the desired location and is
revolved, in place, to show the section view.

Removed Sections
 Type of section that is moved from its normal position
to a more convenient position on the drawing.
Aligned Sections
 Used when it is important to include details of a part by
bending the cutting plane. The cutting plane and the
feature are imagined to be aligned or revolved before
the section view is created.

Conventional Breaks
 Conventional Breaks are a way of depicting a very long
object without showing the entire length.  It is often
used for objects like solid shaft or a length of tubing.
Broken Out Sections
 Used when only a small part of a view needs to be
sectioned to show detail of construction.
Ribs and Webs

 Rib and Web are thin, flat feature


of an object that acts as a
structural support.
Spoke

 Spoke is the rod radiating from the hub


to the rim of a wheel. Spokes are not
sectioned.
