Basic components
Cutting plane
Cutting plane is an imaginary plane that cuts through the
object.
Location and direction of a cutting plane depend on a hidden
feature that is needed to be revealed.
A section view is obtained by viewing the object after removed the
cover up part in the direction normal to the cutting plane.

Basic Components
Cutting plane line
In an orthographic view, a cutting plane is presented as a
“cutting plane line, CPL” and is drawn in either of an
adjacent view of the section view.

Cutting plane line : Line styles
The cutting plane line is presented by a chain line. (This course)
Begin and end the line with a short visible line.
When the line changes its direction, draw a short visible line at
that corner.
Draw an arrow at about the mid-length of a short visible line, the
arrow head is pointed toward to this line in a viewing direction.

Section lining : Purpose
Section lines or cross-hatch lines are added to a section
view to indicate surface that are cut by a cutting plane.
Examples
Section view
without section lines
Section view
with section lines
Visible surfaces and edges behind the cutting plane are drawn in a section view.
The section lines are different for each type of material.
Cast iron,
Malleable iron
Steel Concrete
Sand Wood
Practically, the cast iron symbol is used most often for
any materials.
Section lining : Symbol
Examples
The spacing between lines may vary from 1.5 mm for
small sectioned areas to 3 mm for large sectioned areas.
Poor practices
Section lining : Recommended practice 1
Too dense Too coarse
Uneven spacing Uneven orientation
Examples
It should not run parallel or perpendicular to contour of
the view.
Section lining : Recommended practice 2
Poor practices
Examples
Section lining : Special case
When the sectioned area is large, an outline sectioning
may be used to save time.

Kinds of section
Kind of sections
1. Full section
2. Offset section
3. Half section
4. Broken-out section
5. Revolved section (aligned section)
6. Removed section (detailed section)
A skill requirement
1. Ability in orthographic visualization
2. Understanding in a conventional practice
for each kind of sections.
(You will learn about them from now on.)
Conventional practice : Treatment of a hidden line
Hidden lines are usually omitted within the section lined area.
Example
Hidden lines
are omitted.
Hidden lines
present.
Full section : Concept & example
A section view is made by passing the straight cutting
plane completely through the part.
Example
A closer look
Kinds of sections
Offset section : Concept & example
A section view is made by passing the bended cutting
plane completely through the part.
Example
Edge views of
the cutting plane
are omitted
Kinds of sections
Half section : Concept & example
A section view is made by passing the cutting plane halfway
through an object and remove a quarter of it.
Example
Kinds of sections
Half section : Conventional practice
A center line is used for separating the sectioned half from
the unsectioned half of the view.
Hidden line is omitted in unsectioned half of the view.
Kinds of sections
A section view is made by passing the cutting plane normal
to the viewing direction and removing the portion of an
object in front of it.
Broken-out section : Concept & example
Example
Kinds of sections
The sectioned and unsectioned
portions are separated by
a break line.
Cutting plane line is not
necessary.
Break line is freehand drawn
as a thin continuous line (4H).
Conventional practices
Revolved section : Concept & example
A section view is made by revolving the cross-section view
90o about a cutting plane line and drawn on the orthographic
view.
Example

as a revolved section. But, the cross-section view
is shown outside the view.

Example : Situation that removed section is preferred.
Removed section : Advantage
Removed section technique can improve a reading of
the orthographic view.

Section A–A Section B–B
A single or multiple removed (cross) section view(s) can be
arranged without aligning with the cutting plane line, but it
have to be labeled name of the cutting plane line.

Summary
Drafter has several choices of section techniques to reveal an internal
feature of an object.
Object having a symmetry, an appropriate choice is such as full
section or half section.
Object having several features that do not locate in-line among each
other, an offset section may be a good choice.
Broken-out section is usually used when a drafter need to reveal a
local detail of each feature.
Revolved and removed section views are efficient when a drafter
need to reveal only a cross section shape of an object.

Comparison of a different section techniques
Dimensioning
Dimensioning of the section views follows the typical rules
of dimensioning.
Dimension techniques

For a half-section view, use dimension line with only one arrowhead
that points to the position inside the sectioned portion.

Dimension techniques
Avoid placing dimensions or notes within the section lined
area.
If the situation is unavoidable, omit the section lines in the area of
the note.
