SECTIONAL VIEWS

Half-sectional view
A sectional view obtained by assuming that
the object is completely cut by a plane is
called a full section or sectional view.
For a half section the sutting plane removes
only one quarter of an object.
A half sectional view is preferred for
symmetrical objects. As in the case of full
section, even in half sectional view, it is
good practice to omit the hidden lines.

Example :- Figure below shows the isometric view of a machine block. Draw :(i) the sectional view from the front (ii) the view from the above and (iii) the
sectional view from the left
