SECTION VIEWS

SECTION VIEWS

Section views are used for three main purposes:


• To document the design and manufacture of single parts that are manufactured
as one piece.
• To document how multiple parts are to be assembled or built.
• To aid in visualizing the internal workings of a design.
SECTION VIEWS

Sections of Single Parts

• If you have ever cut a melon in half,


you have created a full section in
real life.
• Think of the part as being sliced
through by the cutting plane.
• Once the object is cut, the closer
half is pulled away, showing the
inside construction of the part.
SECTION VIEWS

Full Sections
When the part is cut fully in half, the resulting view is called a full section.
SECTION VIEWS

• Parts with a lot of interior detail may have so many hidden lines that their views
are confusing.
• Using a section view makes it easier to see interior details.
The Cutting Plane

• A line called the cutting-plane line provides the information necessary for
understanding where the part was cut.
• The arrows at the ends of the cutting-plane line indicate the direction of sight
for the section view.
The Cutting Plane

• Some previously hidden edges of the part are visible in the section view
PLACEMENT OF SECTION VIEWS

• Section views can replace the normal top, front, side, or other standard
orthographic views in the standard view arrangement.

• In this drawing, Only two


views are necessary.
• The front view is shown
as a section view, and
the cutting plane line is
shown in the right-side
view.
PLACEMENT OF SECTION VIEWS

• (a) the object is cut through with a plane parallel to the front view. The resulting
full section may be referred to as the “front view in section”
• (b) the cutting plane is a horizontal plane (which would appear as a line in the
front view). The resulting full section is shown in place of the top view.
LABELING CUTTING PLANES

• For section A–A, the front half of the object is


imagined removed.
• The back half is then viewed in the direction
of the arrows for a front view, and the
resulting section is a front view
LABELING CUTTING PLANES

• For section B–B, the right half of the object is


imagined removed.
• The left half is then viewed in the direction of
the arrows for a right-side view, and the
resulting section is a right-side view in section.
• The cutting-plane lines are preferably drawn
through an exterior view.
LINE PRECEDENCE

• The cutting-plane line takes precedence over the centerline unless it


obscures important detail.
• When the cutting-plane line would obscure important details in the view,
just the ends of the line outside the view and the arrows can be shown.
RULES FOR LINES IN SECTION VIEWS
RULES FOR LINES IN SECTION VIEWS
CUTTING-PLANE LINE STYLE

• Both lines are drawn the same


thickness as visible lines.
• The arrowheads at the ends of
the cutting-plane line indicate the
direction in which the cutaway
object is viewed
• Use capital letters at the ends of
the cutting-plane line when
necessary to help the drawing’s
reader match each cutting-plane
line to its section view.
Visualizing Cutting-Plane Direction
SECTION-LINING TECHNIQUE

• Uniformly spaced by an interval of about 2.5 mm


• Not too close together
• Uniformly thin, not varying in thickness
• Distinctly thinner than visible lines
• Neither running beyond nor stopping short of
visible outlines
SECTION-LINING TECHNIQUE

(b) Direction of Section Lines


• If section lines drawn at 45° from horizontal would be parallel or perpendicular
(or nearly so) to a prominent visible outline, the angle should be changed to 30°,
60°, or some other angle.
SECTION-LINING TECHNIQUE

(c) Dimensions and Section Lines Keep extension lines and values for dimensions
off crosshatched areas, but when this is unavoidable, the cross-hatching should be
omitted where the dimension value is placed.

HALF SECTIONS

• Symmetrical objects can be shown effectively using a special type of section view
called a half section.
• A half section exposes the interior of half of the object and the exterior of the
other half.
• This is done by removing one quarter of the object.
HALF SECTIONS

• Half sections are not widely used to create detail drawings showing how to make
a single part because it can be difficult to show all the dimensions clearly when
some internal features are only partly shown in the sectioned half.
