Deck 26: Cutting Planes, Full Sections, and Section Lining

Question 1

Describe the removed section method.

Answer 1

One technique used to show the shape and size of a specific area of an object is a removed section. This method uses a cutting plane showing where a section has been taken, removed from the view, labeled, and relocated on a drawing sheet of the object. If necessary, it can be enlarged and dimensioned.

Question 2

Describe how cross-hatch or section lines are placed on a single piece object.

Answer 2

For single piece objects, these uniformly space thin lines are drawn at 30 ° , 45 ° , and 60 ° angles.

Question 3

Explain the revolved section view.

Answer 3

A revolved section view uses a centerline instead of a cutting plane to indicate where a section has been taken and rotated 90 ° .

Question 4

If the cutting plane passes completely through the object, the sectional view is called a(n) ____.

A) lateral view
B) orthogonal section
C) full section
D) cross view

Question 5

In the accompanying figure, the item identified as number 4 identifies materials made of ____.

A) aluminum and magnesium
B) steel
C) brass, bronze, copper, and compositions
D) cast iron

Question 6

The inside details of such an object shown with an exterior view are shown on the drawing by ____ lines.

A) object
B) dimension
C) extension
D) hidden

Question 7

A(n) ____ view uses a centerline instead of a cutting plane to indicate where a section has been taken and rotated 90 ° .

A) full section
B) revolved section
C) partial section
D) inverted section

Question 8

The ____ line is either a thick (heavy) line with one long and two short dashes or a series of thick (heavy), equally spaced long dashes.

A) perspective plane
B) reference plane
C) cutting plane
D) dimension plane

Question 9

What is needed when the details inside the part become more complex?

Question 10

Describe the cutting plane lines.

Question 11

In the accompanying figure, the letters identify the ____.

A) direction
B) section
C) viewing plane
D) cutting plane
