Our mission is to provide a thorough understanding of Sectional Orthographic Projections, starting with the basics and progressing to advanced applications. We'll dissect cutting planes, sectional views, drawing methods, and the significance of these projections in conveying detailed object geometry.
2. Why sectional Orthographic projections are used?
I. To understand inner details of complex object:
When the object is complex from inside there
When the object is complex from inside, there
will be many hidden lines in the projections and it
will be difficult to understand the orthographic
will be difficult to understand the orthographic
projections. Therefore, to understand the
details of the complex object sectional

orthographic Projections are used.

If object is made of two or more materials, then it
can be understood clearly by sectional

3. ‰ Orthographic projections of complex

objects are drawn after imagining it as an
object cut by an imaginary cutting plane/planes

5. ‰ Generally hidden lines are not drawn in
sectional view.
‰ In sectional views, the Shape of the section,

‰When one view is drawn sectional, other views

Cutting plane line
‰ Cutting plane line is also known as line of

7. ‰ The portion of the object cut by cutting plane and
touching the cutting plane is shown by
drawing hatching or section lines in them.
