Section Drawings

Section drawings involve the same cutting technique as plans, although the cutting plane is
vertical instead of horizontal. The point of a section view is to show the heights of each floor,
and any complex structures like strange ceilings.
Sections are typically cut at right angles to the axes in a building, and unless their position is
obvious, there are often reference lines on plan views to show where the section cuts fall.

Cross Section
A cross section is a cut through something (such as a coaxial cable ) at an
angle perpendicular to its axis in order to view its interior structure. A well-known
example is a cross section of a tree that shows its growth rings and tells its age.
A view or drawing that shows what the inside of something looks like after a cut has
been made across it.

Longitudinal Section
A section that is cut along the long axis of a structure. The opposite is a cross-section. a cross
section attained by slicing in any plane parallel to the long or vertical axis, actually or through
imaging techniques, the body or any part of the body or anatomic structure. Longitudinal
sections include, but are not limited to, median, sagittal, and coronal sections.

Detail Section
Treatment of or attention to items or particulars: this essay includes too much detail.
A drawing, at relatively large scale, of a part of abuilding, machine, etc., with dimensions or othe
rinformation for use in construction.

Bay Section

Any division of a building between vertical lines or planes, especially the entire space
included between two adjacent supports; thus, the space between two columns, or pilasters, or
from pier to pier in a church, including that part of the vaulting or ceiling between them, is known
as a bay.
