Orthographic Projection and Sectioning

The document discusses section views in engineering drawings. It defines key terminology like cutting plane, cutting plane line, and section lines. It describes different types of section views like full section, offset section, half section, and broken-out section views. It provides examples of each type and discusses how to properly apply section lining and dimensioning in section views. The purpose of section views is to clarify internal features, facilitate dimensioning, and reveal cross-sectional shape. Dimensioning in section views follows typical rules but uses dimensions lines with a single arrowhead when dimensioning half sections.

PURPOSES OF SECTION VIEWS


Clarify the views by
v reducing or eliminating the hidden lines. v revealing the cross sectionals shape.

Facilitate the dimensioning.

Let See the example

EXAMPLE : Advantage of using a section view.

Terminology and common practices

CUTTING PLANE
Cutting plane is a plane that imaginarily cuts the object to reveal the internal features.
Cutting plane

Section lines Cutting plane line

CUTTING PLANE LINE


Cutting plane line is an edge view of the cutting plane.

Indicate the path of cutting plane.

CUTTING PLANE LINESTYLES


This course
Thick line ANSI standard Thick line Viewing direction Viewing direction JIS & ISO standard Thin line

Viewing direction

SECTION LINING
Section lines or cross-hatch lines are used to indicate the surfaces that are cut by the cutting plane.

Section lines Drawn with 2H pencil.

SECTION LINES SYMBOLS


The section lines are different for each of materials type. For practical purpose, the cast iron symbol is used most often for any materials.

Cast iron, Malleable iron

Steel

Concrete

Sand

Wood

SECTION LINING PRACTICE


The spaces between lines may vary from 1.5 mm for small sections to 3 mm for large sections. COMMON MISTAKE

SECTION LINING PRACTICE


It should not be drawn parallel or perpendicular to contour of the view. COMMON MISTAKE

Kinds of Sections

KIND OF SECTIONS
1. Full section 2. Offset section 3. Half section 4. Broken-out section 5. Revolved section (aligned section) 6. Removed section (detailed section)

FULL SECTION VIEW

FULL SECTION VIEW


The view is made by passing the straight cutting plane completely through the part.

OFFSET SECTION VIEW


The view is made by passing the bended cutting plane completely through the part.

Do not show the edge views of the cutting plane.

TREATMENT OF HIDDEN LINES


Hidden lines are normally omitted from section views.

HALF SECTION VIEW


The view is made by passing the cutting plane halfway through an object and remove a quarter of it.

HALF SECTION VIEW


A center line is used to separate the sectioned half from the unsectioned half of the view. Hidden line is omitted in unsection half of the view.

BROKEN-OUT SECTION VIEW


The view is made by passing the cutting plane normal to the viewing direction and removing the portion of an object in front of it.

BROKEN-OUT SECTION VIEW


A break line is used to separate the sectioned portion from the unsectioned portion of the view. Break line is a thin continuous line (4H) and is drawn freehand. There is no cutting plane line.

EXAMPLE : Comparison among several section techniques

Dimensioning in Section View

In most cases, dimensioning of the section views follows the typical rules of dimensioning.

DIMENSIONING

For a half-section view, use dimension line with only one arrowhead that points to the position inside the sectioned portion.
