    SECTION DRAWINGS

    SECTION DRAWINGS

    A section drawing shows detail on


    the inside of an object by cutting
    away part of the object.
    FULL SECTION

    Q: Why do we call this a “Full” section?


    FULL SECTION

    A: The cutting plane line cuts through the entire length,


    height, or width.
    CUTTING PLANE LINES
    •Cutting plane lines mark the point at which the object is to be
    cut apart (wide dashed line .7mm thick).

    Sight lines point to the part of the object that is to be kept.


    CUTTING
    PLANE LINE

    SIGHT LINE
    HATCHING
    Hatching is used to show where the object has been cut. In
    other words, if the part was cut with a saw, the hatching would
    represent where the saw actually touched the object as it was
    being cut.

    Hatch lines (.3mm)

    The pattern of the hatching used represents different types of


    materials. In the case above, a generic hatch has been used.
    This generic hatch is sometimes used to represent iron or steel.
    Hatch lines should match the color of the cutting plane line.
    HATCH PATTERNS
    FULL SECTION

    No hidden lines on the sectional portion of a view


    HALF SECTION
    HALF SECTION
    Q: Why do we call this a
    “HALF” section?
    HALF SECTION
    A: The cutting plane line cuts
    through only “Half” the length,
    height, or width of the object.
    HALF SECTION
    This line divides the object so
    the sectioned portion and the
    non-sectioned portion can be
    defined.
    OFFSET SECTION
    OFFSET SECTION

    Offset sections allow one cutting plane line to transect


    multiple areas of a part. This reduces the amount of work
    needed to complete a drawing.
    OFFSET SECTION

    Notice that there isn’t a line added to show where the offset
    portion of the cutting plane line changes direction.
    BROKEN-OUT
    SECTION
    Notice that there isn’t a cutting
    plane line on this style of section
    drawing.

    Instead, a broken-out section


    line is used. (.7mm line)

    This style is used when a part is


    fairly symmetrical.
    REVOLVED SECTION

    A revolved section is used to show the profile of a part in


    another view.

    In this case an “I” beam is shown from an angle that


    emphasizes its length. By breaking-out the center area and
    placing a side view in-line with the view, a sense of what
    this part actually looks like is better communicated.
    BREAK LINES
    Break Lines (.3mm)

    Break lines are used when a long object that would


    otherwise not fit on a standard sized drawing is shortened.
    This can only be done on an object that is very regular. The
    picture above is of an “I” beam that is over 10’ long. It has
    been shortened using break lines so it can fit on an A-sized
    sheet of paper.
