Section View Drawing
A section view is a view used on a drawing to show an area or hidden part of an object by cutting away or removing some of that object.
Section view drawing. Sections normally comprise of two parts firstly the section cut indicator with identification. The following slides will help show the several methods or types of section views visualizing the cutting plane. When sketching an object or part that requires a sectional view they are drawn by eye at an angle of approximately 45 degrees and are spaced about 1 8 apart.
The cut line is called a cutting plane and can be done in several ways. A model documentation section view is a projected view from an existing drawing view where you use a section line to cut through the drawing view in order to reveal what is inside. A sectional view displays the outline of the cutting plane and all visible outlines which can be seen beyond the cutting plane.
Visible outlines beyond the cutting plane are not drawn. A section or cross section is a view generated from a part or assembly on a cutting plane or multiple cutting planes that reveals the outlines on the inside or assembly fits. It is best to use the symbol for the material being shown as a section on a sketch.
The section view can be a straight cut section or an offset section defined by a stepped section line. This indicator will then generate a section view. A section is a view of no thickness and shows the outline of the object at the cutting plane.
The section line can also include concentric arcs.
