Preparation should include
- choosing the orthographic view from which the section will be taken
- showing the location of the cutting-plane line (aligned and removed sections only)
- determining whether to show breaks (revolved sections only)
- determining the depth of cut
- revolving features into the drawing plane that are not crossed by the cutting plane (i.e., aligned section)
- determining whether to show removed sections on a larger scale
- labeling section views.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What feature or linetype does a cutting-plane line usually pass over?
- What is the proper line weight and linetype of a cutting-plane line?
- What is the purpose of drawing section views?
- What type of section views would be used in the construction of a submarine (or other practical object)?
