Introduction
• • • • • •
A sectional view represents the part of an object which remains after a portion has been removed. Used to show hidden shape or form Will help to clarify what would normally be shown as hidden detail Only solid material being cut is sectioned The section is obtained by cutting the component into two parts at some good points Sectioning symbol or hatching should be used to indicate the part that has been cut.

Types •
Longitudinal Section – Lengthwise
•
Cross Section – cross wise –
FULL
–
HALF (half way across a symmetric object)
–
BROKEN (partial, when a full and half section is not needed)

Lines Used in Section Views •
Section Lines: Section lines are used to indicate where the cutting plane cuts the material. – – –
Section lines are thin lines. Section line symbols are chosen according to the material of the object Section lines are generally drawn at a 45 angle.
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Introduction - Hatching Thin continuous line. Drawn at 45° to the horizontal, in either the right or left direction.

Rules & Exceptions
As general rule, all material cut by a cutting plane is hatched,
except for web, shafts, bolts, rivets, keys, pins, and similar parts
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Rules of Sectioning •
Rule 1: A section lined area is always completely bounded by a visible outline.
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Rules of Sectioning •
Rule 2: The section lines in all areas should be parallel. –
Section lines shown in opposite directions indicate a different part.
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Rules of Sectioning •
Rule 3: All the visible edges behind the cutting plane should be shown.
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Rules of Sectioning •
Rule 4: Hidden features should be omitted in all areas of a section view. –
Exceptions include threads and broken out sections.

Sectioning Types of Sections
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Types of Sections •
The type of section used depends on the situation and what information needs to be conveyed.
•
Types of sections – – – –
Full Section Half Section Offset Section etc …

Full Section
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Full Section •
To create a full section, the cutting plane es fully through the object. –
Used in many cases to avoid having to dimension hidden lines.

Half Section
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Half Section A half section exposes the interior of one half of an object while retaining the exterior of the other half
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Half Section Half sections are used mainly for symmetric objects or assembly drawings.
ME 121 – Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)
Half Section •
A centerline is used to separate the two halves.
•
Hidden lines should not be shown on either half.
