Sectional Views

A section view shows the internal features of an object by imagining a cutting plane that removes part of the object. The document discusses how to draw different types of section views including full section views, half section views, and conventions like showing the cutting plane and hatching. Examples are provided of section views for different objects.

5.1 What is a “Section View” ?
A section view is a view used on a drawing to show an
area or hidden part of an object by cutting away or
removing some of that object. The cut line is called a
“cutting plane”, and can be done in several ways.
Conventional views, either principal or auxiliary views,
may not always give the clearest representation of an
object. Many objects in the engineering world have
complex internal features which will appear as hidden
lines in conventional views. It is often desirable for the
sake of clarity to represent the interior features as
visible.

2
To present objects in this method, the component can be imagined
as being separated by a cutting plane in a location selected to
most clearly show interior features. The cutting plane may be
placed in several different positions, depending upon the symmetry
and complexity of the object. After the cutting plane location is
selected, the object is drawn as if the portion of the object to one
side of the cutting plane is removed. The remaining object outline
and all visible features are drawn. To indicate the cross-sectional
shape of the object along the cutting plane, sections lines are
added. Section lines, or crosshatching, are included to clearly
indicate where the defined cutting plane passes through
solid material of the object. The pattern of the section lines can be
used to define the material of which the object is to be made. This
is done in assembly drawing which show multiple components in
An assembled state.

3
In detail drawing, continuous line hatching is more common.
Hatching is constructed at a 45 degree angle (with respect to the
view) if possible. Other angles my be used if the hatching is
parallel to too many object lines, hence making reading of the
drawing more difficult. The cutting plane is shown as a dashed or
phantom line, thicker than the normal object lines in a view where
is appears as an edge. In cases where the location of the cutting
plane is easily understood, and no other logical sections would be
presented, the cutting plane line may be omitted. This is usually
done on circular objects, where the cutting plane line is placed
along one of the axial centerlines. If there is any chance that
omission of the cutting plane could introduce confusion to the
drawing reader, it must be shown. When the cutting plane line is
shown, arrowheads must be added to indicate the direction from
which the object is to be viewed.

4
The arrowheads also indicate which part of the object is to be
removed for the section view. If the cutting plane line coincides
with a centerline, the cutting plane line takes precedence.
If the arrowheads point to the left, everything to the right of the
cutting plane is imagined to be removed. The view would then be
drawn to the right of the view where the cutting plane is shown. If
the arrowheads point up, everything to the below the cutting plane
is imagined to be removed. The view would then be drawn directly
below the view where the cutting plane is shown.
