Introduction to Sectional Views

Introduction to Sectional Views

A sectional view is that view seen beyond an imaginary plane passing through an object at right angles to the direction of sight.

Sectional views are used to show the interior construction or details of hidden features that can not be shown clearly by outside views.

Introduction to Sectional Views

The cutting plane on which a section has been taken is indicated by a heavy dash line. Arrow heads at the ends of the cutting plane lines are used to indicate the direction in which the sections are viewed.

Hatching

Hatching

Hatching lines are thin lines and should preferably be inclining at 45 degrees. They should be evenly spaced.

Hatching

If there are two or more adjacent sectioned parts, the hatching lines should either be of different spacing or different direction. See the following figures.However, hatching pattern should be the same for separate areas of a single object.
