1. The document discusses various types of sectioning that can be applied to machine components in technical drawings, including vertical, horizontal, and normal sections. 2. It also describes how the sectioning plane and cut component will appear in different views, for example a horizontal section plane will show the cut shape in the top view. 3. Special sectioning techniques are introduced such as half sections, removed sections, revolved sections, and intersecting plane sections. Hatching patterns and cutting plane indications are also covered.

1. SECTIONING OF A
MACHINE COMPONENT
BY ANY ONE SECTION
PLA NE ,OUT OF THREE
FOLLOWING MENTIONED
SECTION PLANES

2. (1)BY A VERTICAL SECTION PLANE
(PARALLEL TO PRINCIPLE V.P.)
Hence ,
(a)The real or true shape of the section is
observed in its F.V., known as SEC. F.V. - AB
(b)Section plane will be seen as a cutting
plane line (similar to center line ,thick at ends)
with corresponding horizontal vision direction
arrows at the center of thick ends in its T.V. &
S.V.

3. (2)BY A HORIZONTAL SECTION PLANE
Hence,
(a)The real or true shape of the section is observed in
its T.V., known as SEC. T.V. - AB
(b) The cutting or section plane will be observed as a
cutting plane line (similar to center line ,thick at
ends) with the corresponding vertically downward
vision direction arrows at the center of the thick
ends in its F.V. and in S.V.

4. (3) BY A SECTION PLANE , NORMAL TO
BOTH H.P. AND V.P.
(i.e. parallel to profile plane or side view plane)
Hence,
(a)The real or true shape of the section is
observed in its S.V., known as SEC. L.H.S.V –
AB or SEC. R.H.S.V - AB
(b) The cutting or section plane will be observed
as a cutting plane line (similar to center line ,
thick at ends) with the corresponding vertically
downward vision direction arrows at the center
of the thick ends in its F.V. and in T.V.

22. NOTE:- (As per Previous I S 696 – 1972 Page 38)
When the cutting plane passes (contains) the
center line of such elements as,
Shafts,bolts,nuts,rods,rivets,keys,pins, pulley
arms, spokes, webs(ribs),screws,ball or roller
bearings or similar shapes - no section lining or
sectioning is needed for the objects , i.e. the
hatching should be eliminated.
(See the next demonstrating exercises
following the above rule)

23. Vertical Collared Shaft

and drilled flange) in
Conventional section in
F.V., along with
the T.V.
Note:- As a rule, all the hidden
lines should be omitted from a
sectional view. The only
exemption is where the hidden
lines are absolutely
Indispensable for clarification
or for dimensioning.
Actual or true projections are not preferred to draw

24. Section lines are
to be staggered as
shown at R
OFFSET SECTION: The path of the cutting plane is
bent to pass through features not located in a straight
line, i.e. it is offset to pass through both principle
features of the object. Example is shown below in Ex.
