Section Views

Section View
Multiview drawing technique that contain special views
of part/parts to represent the interior features

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

Sectional View
Section view is based on the use of an imaginary cutting plane that
cuts through the object to reveal the interior features

Cutting Plane lines

The edge view of the
cutting plane
Cutting plane lines are thick
(0.6 mm or 0.032), dashed
lines that extend pass the
edge of object 6 mm or
inch
Cutting plane line is not
added to drawing when
its position is obvious
Cutting plane line has
precedence over the
center line

Outline Sections

Large parts to save time

Thin Wall Sections

Parts less than 4 mm thick

e.g. Washers , Gaskets

23

Full Section
General purpose:
45 degree angle
Space of 1.5 mm to 3 mm or more
Thin black line (0.35 mm or 0.016), H or 2H pencil

Full Section

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

25

Half Section

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

- Hidden lines are removed in both halves

- Most often on symmetrical parts
- in Assemblies

26

Broken-Out Section

- Hidden lines may be removed in the unsectioned portion

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

27

Revolved Section

- e.g. bar, handle, spoke, web, aircraft wing, or other

elongated features
- Showing the cross section without drawing the other
view

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

28

Removed Section
- Similar to the
revolved
section but the
section is
drawn adjacent
to the
orthographic
view for better
clarification

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

29

Removed Section
- Multiple

removed
section views for
continuously
varying shape

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

30

Removed Section
- Scaled removed section views

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

31

Removed Section
- Aligned removed section views

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

32

Offset Section
- Bent at one or more 90 angles to pass through the important features

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

33

Offset Section
- Multiple offset section

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

34

Assembly Section

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

35

Assembly Section
- Standard pats not section lined
e.g. :
- Different hatching angle or material
shafts
symbols are used for adjacent parts
bearings, roller or ball
Gear teeth
Threaded fasteners
Nuts and bolts
Rivets
Ribs
Spokes
Lugs
Washers
Keys
Pins

38

Sectioning Conventions
- Ribs, webs, lugs and other thin wall are not section lined
because it gives the false impression that the part is thicker
than it really is

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

Sectioning Conventions
- Ribs, webs, lugs and other thin wall are not section lined

Fall2005- ENGR 3200U

40

Sectioning Conventions
-Ribs, webs, lugs and other thin wall are section lined to avoid mistake
-Use alternate section lines

-Webs flush with the rim and hub

-Webs are lost without section lines
