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)

ME 121 Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)

How To?
Part is CUT with an imaginary plane.

How To? - Lines Used in Section Views

Section Lines Shows where the part is being cut.

Arrows point to the portion being kept.

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.

How To? - Summary

Section cutting planes are denoted by chain line Arrowheads indicate the direction of viewing The section view is identified by 'SECTION A-A'

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.

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

ME 121 Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)

Full Section

ME 121 Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)

Full Section
To create a full section, the cutting plane passes fully through the object.
Used in many cases to avoid having to dimension hidden lines.

Exercise
Given the top and right side views, sketch the front view as a full section.
The material used is steel.

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.

ME 121 Engineering Drawing and Graphics (Spring 2013)

Exercise
Given the front and right side views, sketch the top view as a full section and create a half sectioned front view.
The material is brass.
