– Why sectional views are needed
Invisible features of an object are shown by means of
hidden lines in their projected views.
But when such lines are too many, these lines make the
views more complicated and difficult to interprete.
In such a case it is customary to imagine the object as being
cut through by plane

Section Lines
• Section lines (crosshatching) are used to show
where the cutting plane passed through solid
material
SECTION LINES SYMBOLS
The section lines are different for each of
material’s type.
For practical purpose, the cast iron symbol is
used most often for any materials.

Types of Section Views
• Full sections
• Half sections
• Revolved sections
• Removed sections
• Offset sections
Full Section View
• In a full section view, when the object is
assumed to be cut through entirely and the
front half removed.
• Note that hidden lines become visible in a
section view Hidden Lines
are Visible
FULL SECTION VIEW
The view is made by passing the straight cutting
plane completely through the part.

Individual Exercise
● Sketch a full section of the object shown below
Individual Exercise
● Were you correct ?
HALF SECTION VIEW
It may be assumed to be cut by two cutting planes at right angle
to each other and containing two center lines of the object.
The one quarter of the object between two plane is then removed
showing only a half section.
HALF SECTION VIEW
A center line is used to separate the sectioned half
from the unsectioned half of the view.
Hidden line is omitted in unsection half of the view.
