Question

Which statement is true regarding the figure given below?

(a) Full section view, where the section plane go completely through the object

(b) Half section view, where the section plane go half-way through the object

(c) Offset section, where the sectional plane bent through the features that are not aligned

(d) Broken-out section where the section go through part of the object

This question was posed to me in class test.

Question is from Sections of Solids in division Orthographic Projection, Projections of Lines, Planes and Solids of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right choice is (d) Broken-out section where the section go through part of the object

To elaborate: A broken-out section view cuts away a portion of an assembly in a drawing view to expose the inside. Cross hatching is automatically generated on the sectioned faces of all components.

A broken-out section is part of an existing drawing view, not a separate view. A closed profile, usually a spline, defines the broken-out section. Material is removed to a specified depth to expose inner details. Specify the depth by setting a number or by selecting geometry in a drawing view.

You cannot create a broken-out section on a detail, section, or alternate position view. If you create a broken-out section of an exploded view, you cannot collapse the exploded view.
