Section View Engineering Drawing

The section view can be a straight cut section or an offset section defined by a stepped section line.

Section view engineering drawing. The diagonal lines on the section drawing are used to indicate the area that has been theoretically cut. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Sections normally comprise of two parts firstly the section cut indicator with identification.

As figures shown the cutting plane is a frontal plane and appears as a line in the top view. The result is called a front section or front view in section since it replaces the front view in the 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.

They are created by using a cutting plane to cut the object. Figure 19 full and sectioned isometric views. Section views in drawings you create a section view in a drawing by cutting the parent view with a cutting or section line.

Figure 20 front view and half section. 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. 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.

A half section is a view of an object showing one half of the view in section as in figure 19 and 20. Sectional views often replace standard views. 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. Sections and sectional views are used to show hidden detail more clearly. See this and over 140 engineering technology simulation videos at http.
