UNDERSTANDING SECTIONSUNDERSTANDING SECTIONSSection views are used for three main purposes:

• To document the design and manufacture of single parts that are manufactured as one piece.

• To document how multiple parts are to be assembled or built.

• To aid in visualizing the internal workings of a design.

When the part is cut fully in half, the resulting view is called a full section.



THE CUTTING PLANETHE CUTTING PLANEThe cutting plane appears edgewise as a thick dashed line called the cutting-plane line. The arrows at the ends of the cutting-plane line indicate the direction of sight for the sectional view.

The Cutting Plane



VISIBLE EDGES ON CUTTING VISIBLE EDGES ON CUTTING PLANESPLANES

Newly visible edges cut by cutting plane are crosshatched with section lining.



LABELING CUTTING PLANES

Note that each section (A-A and B-B)is completely independent.



RULES FOR LINES IN SECTIONRULES FOR LINES IN SECTIONVIEWSVIEWS

• Show edges and contours that are now visible behind the cutting plane.• Omit hidden lines in section views.• A sectioned area is always completely bounded by a visible outline—never by a hidden line. • A visible line can never cross a sectioned area in a view of a single part.



CUTTING-PLANE LINE STYLECUTTING-PLANE LINE STYLEIt is made up of equal dashes, each about 6 mm (1/4“) long ending in arrowheads. This form works especially well for drawings. The alternative style, uses alternating long dashes and pairs of short dashes and ends with arrowheads. This style has been in general use for a long time, so you may still see it on drawings. Both lines are drawn the same thickness as visible lines. The arrowheads at the ends of the cutting plane line indicate the direction in which the cutaway object is viewed.

SECTION-LINING TECHNIQUESECTION-LINING TECHNIQUE

• Uniformly spaced by an interval of about 2.5 mm

• Not too close together

• Uniformly thin, not varying in thickness

• Distinctly thinner than visible lines

• Neither running beyond nor stopping short of visible outlines

Symbols for Section Lining



SECTION-LINING IN CADSECTION-LINING IN CADCAD programs usually include libraries that allow you to select from a variety of section-lining patterns, making it easy to use different patterns, angles, and scales for the spacing of thepattern.



HALF SECTIONSHALF SECTIONSSymmetrical objects can be shown effectively using a special type of section view called a half section. A half section exposes the interior of half of the object and the exterior of the other half. This is done by removing one quarter of the object.

Half sectionCutting plane



BROKEN OUT SECTIONSBROKEN OUT SECTIONS

It often happens that only a partial section ofa view is needed to expose interior shapes.Such a section, limited by a break line, iscalled a broken out section.



REVOLVED SECTIONSREVOLVED SECTIONS

The shape of the cross section of a bar, arm, spoke, or other elongated object can be shown in the longitudinal view by using a revolved section.

To create a revolved section, first imagine a cutting plane perpendicular to the centerline or axis of the object. Next, revolve the plane 90° about a centerline at right angles to the axis.

90°



REMOVED SECTIONSREMOVED SECTIONSA removed section is one that is not in direct projection from the view containing the cutting plane — that is, it is not positioned in agreement with the standard arrangement of views.



OFFSET SECTIONSOFFSET SECTIONSIn sectioning complex objects, it is often desirable to show features that do not lie in a straight line by “offsetting” or bending the cutting plane. These are called offset sections.

Note the offset cutting plane line



RIBS IN SECTIONRIBS IN SECTIONTo avoid giving a false impression of thickness and solidity, ribs, webs, gear teeth, and other similar flat features are not hatched with section lining even though the cutting plane slices them.

Thin features are not hatched even though the cutting plane passes lengthwise through them.



ALIGNED SECTIONSALIGNED SECTIONSWhen parts with angled elements are sectioned, the cutting plane may be bent to pass through those features. The plane and features are then imagined to be revolved into the original plane.

Aligned Section

The angle of revolution should always be less than 90° foran aligned section.



PARTIAL VIEWSPARTIAL VIEWSIf space is limited on the paper or to save time, partial views may be used with sectioning.

Another method of drawing a partial view is to break out much of the circular view, retaining only those features that are needed for minimum representation.



INTERSECTIONS IN SECTIONSINTERSECTIONS IN SECTIONSWhenever an intersection is small or unimportant in a section, it is standard practice to disregard the true projection of the figure of intersection.

Larger intersectionsmay be projected

Note that the larger hole K is the same diameter as the vertical hole. In such cases the curves of intersection (ellipses) appear as straight lines.



CONVENTIONAL BREAKSCONVENTIONAL BREAKSAND SECTIONSAND SECTIONS

Conventional breaks are used to shorten the view of an object that is too long to show clearly at one scale on the drawing sheet.



ASSEMBLY SECTIONSASSEMBLY SECTIONSSection views are often used to create assembly drawings.

Notice that the hatching on different parts has different hatch patterns or hatch at different angles. When used on the same part, the hatching is always at the same angle to help you recognize the parts easily.



COMPUTER TECHNIQUES FOR COMPUTER TECHNIQUES FOR SECTIONSSECTIONS

2D and 3D sectional views are created using CAD. Most CAD systems have a “hatch” command to generate the section lining and hatch patterns to fill an area automatically.

C H A P T E R E I G H TAUXILIARY VIEWSAUXILIARY VIEWS



OBJECTIVESOBJECTIVES1. Create an auxiliary view from orthographic views.

2. Draw folding lines or reference-plane lines between any two adjacent views.

3. Construct depth, height, or width auxiliary views.

4. Plot curves in auxiliary views.

5. Construct partial auxiliary views.

6. Create auxiliary section views.

7. Produce views to show the true length of a line, point view of a line, edge view of a surface, and true-size view of a surface.

8. Show the true size of the angle between two planes (dihedral angle).

9. Construct the development of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones.

10. Use triangulation to transfer surface shapes to a development.

11. Create the development of transition pieces.

12. Graphically solve for the intersection of solids.

13. Apply revolution to show true-length edges and true-size surfaces.



UNDERSTANDING AUXILIARY UNDERSTANDING AUXILIARY VIEWSVIEWS

Auxiliary views are useful for both design and documentation. Many objects are shaped so that their principal faces are not parallel to the standard planes of projection.

To show the true circular shapes, use a direction of sight perpendicular to the plane of the curve, to produce an Auxiliary View.



THE AUXILIARY PLANETHE AUXILIARY PLANETo show the inclined surface (P) true size, the direction of sight must be perpendicular to the inclined plane.

The auxiliary plane in this case is perpendicular to the frontal plane of projection andhinged to it. It is angled to the horizontal (top) and profile (side) viewing planes.



PRIMARY AUXILIARY VIEWSPRIMARY AUXILIARY VIEWSA primary auxiliary view is projected onto a plane that is perpendicular to one of the principal planes of projection and is inclined to the other two.



DEPTH AUXILIARY VIEWSDEPTH AUXILIARY VIEWSAll these views show the object’s depth and therefore are all depth auxiliary views.



HEIGHT AUXILIARY VIEWSHEIGHT AUXILIARY VIEWSThe front view and all these auxiliary views show the height of the object. Therefore, all these auxiliary views are height auxiliary views.



WIDTH AUXILIARY VIEWSWIDTH AUXILIARY VIEWS

The front view and all these auxiliary views are width auxiliary views.



SUCCESSIVE AUXILIARY VIEWSSUCCESSIVE AUXILIARY VIEWSFrom a primary auxiliary view , a secondary auxiliary view can be drawn, then from it a third auxiliary view, and so on.

Successive Auxiliary Views



SECONDARY AUXILIARY VIEWSSECONDARY AUXILIARY VIEWSA secondary auxiliary view is projected from a primary auxiliary viewonto a plane that is inclined to all three principal projection planes.

REFERENCE PLANESREFERENCE PLANES

If you are using 2D CAD, you can draw half of the view and then mirror the object.

Instead of using one of the planes of projection, you can use a reference plane parallel to the plane of projection that touches or cuts through the object.



• Place two triangles together so that the 90° corners are on the outside.

• Slide them on your drawing until the outer edge of one triangle is along the line to which you want to sketch parallel.

• Hold down the triangle and slide the other along it.

• Draw parallel lines along one edge of the triangle.

Draw perpendicular lines along the other edge.

USING TRIANGLES TO SKETCHUSING TRIANGLES TO SKETCHAUXILIARY VIEWSAUXILIARY VIEWS

You can use two triangles to quickly draw parallel and perpendicular lines for “accurate” sketches.



CIRCLES AND ELLIPSESCIRCLES AND ELLIPSESIN AUXILIARY VIEWSIN AUXILIARY VIEWS

Circular shapes appear elliptical when viewed at an angle other than 90° (straight on to the circular shape). This is frequently the case when constructing auxiliary views.



HIDDEN LINESHIDDEN LINESIN AUXILIARY VIEWSIN AUXILIARY VIEWS

Your instructor may ask you to show all hidden lines for visualization practice, especially if the auxiliaryview of the entire object is shown. Later, when you are familiar with drawing auxiliary views, omit hiddenlines when they do not add needed information to the drawing.

Generally, hidden lines should be omitted in auxiliary views, unless they are needed to clearly communicate the drawing’s intent.



PARTIAL AUXILIARY VIEWSPARTIAL AUXILIARY VIEWSUsing an auxiliary view often makes it possible to omit one or more regularviews, but auxiliary drawings are time consuming to create and may even beconfusing because of the clutter of lines. Partial views are often sufficient andeasier to read.



AUXILIARY SECTIONSAUXILIARY SECTIONSAn auxiliary section is simply an auxiliary view in section.

Note thecutting-plane line and the terminating arrows that indicate the directionof sight for the auxiliary section. In an auxiliary sectiondrawing, the entire portion of the object behind the cutting planemay be shown, or the cut surface alone may be shown.



VIEWING-PLANE LINESVIEWING-PLANE LINESAND ARROWSAND ARROWS

When the drawing sheet is too crowded to show the auxiliary view in direction projection you can use a viewing-plane line or a viewing direction arrow to indicate the direction of sight for the auxiliary view.



DIHEDRAL ANGLESDIHEDRAL ANGLESThe angle between two planes is called a dihedral angle. Auxiliary views oftenneed to be drawn to show dihedral angles true size, mainly for dimensioningpurposes.



AXIS OF REVOLUTIONAXIS OF REVOLUTION

The axis of revolution appears as a point in this view. The object revolves but does not change shape in this view. In the adjacent views in which the axis of revolution, if it were drawn, would show as a line in true length, the dimensions of the object that are parallel to the axis of revolution do not change.

Revolution, like auxiliary view projection, is a method of determining the true length and true size of inclined and oblique lines and planes.
