    The document discusses rules for drawing sectional views in technical drawings. Sectional views show interior details by imagining cutting an object with a plane and removing the portion between the observer and cutting plane. Rules cover representing the cutting plane line, using section lines to indicate cut surfaces, hatching patterns for different features, and projecting sectional views perpendicular to the cutting plane.

    2 Sections and Sectional views

    3.2.1 Introduction

    A section is used to show the detail of a component, or an assembly, on a particular


    plane which is known as the cutting plane. Sectional views are used to show interior
    details that are too complicated to be shown clearly by regular views containing many
    hidden lines.

    31
    A sectional view is obtained by imagining the object, as if cut by a cutting plane and the
    portion between the observer and the section plane being removed. Then the exposed or
    cut surfaces are identified by sectioning or hatch lines. Hidden lines and details behind
    the cutting plane are usually omitted.
    A sectional view often replaces one of the regular views usually the front view.
    Consider Figure 3.2 which shows a block with two holes. The block is cut along a vertical
    plane and viewed along direction AA.

    Figure 3.2:

    The sectioned front and plan views are as shown in Figure 3.3

    Rules for drawing full sectioned views

    1. Cutting plane lines - Are used to show the location of cutting plane for sectional
    views. There are different forms of representing the cutting plane lines, but the one
    to adopt is the alternating long dash and short dash. The line should be thickened
    at both ends and drawn using HB pencil. The cutting plane is lettered and the
    arrows indicate the direction of viewing. The cutting plane line can be omitted
    when it corresponds to the center line, but the arrows and the letters should remain.

    2. Sectioning lines - Also referred to as cross-hatching. They indicate the surface that
    has been theoretically cut. These lines should be thin (drawn using 2H-pencil) and
    are usually drawn at an angle 450 to the center line. The distance between the

    32
    hatching lines normally varies between 1 − 3mm depending on the size of the area
    being sectioned. The lines should be parallel and the spacing should be reasonably
    uniform to give a good appearance to the drawing.

    3. Shafts, bolts, rods, pins, keys, rivets, holes and other similar symmetrical part, the
    axis of which lie in the cutting plane should not be hatched.

    4. If there are two adjacent parts such as a bush in a housing, each part is cross
    hatched in opposite directions as shown in Figure 3.4. It is customary to reduce
    the pitch between hatching lines for the smaller part.

    Figure 3.4:

    5. To section a threaded hole, the hatching crosses the major diameter and terminates
    to the minor diameter as shown in Figure 3.5

    Figure 3.5:

    6. An assembled threaded fastener should be sectioned as shown in Figure 3.6

    Figure 3.6:

    7. Sectional views should be projected perpendicularly to the cutting plane and be


    placed according to the rules of first or third angle projection.

    33
    Example 3.1
    Figure 3.7 shows the isometric view of a shaft support which is to be sectioned along a
    vertical plane as shown. Draw the plan and full-section front view in first angle projection
    as viewed along direction AA. All the fillets are of radius 10mm.
