cUttinG PLane
Cutting plane is an imaginary plane that cuts through the
object.
A section view is obtained by viewing the object after removed the
cover up part in the direction normal to the cutting plane.
Location and direction of a cutting plane depend on a hidden
feature that is needed to be revealed.

The sectioned and unsectioned
portions are separated by
a break line.
Break line is freehand drawn
as a thin continuous line.
Cutting plane line is not
necessary.

Dimensioning of the section views follows the typical rules
of dimensioning.
For a half-section view, use dimension line with only one arrowhead
that points to the position inside the sectioned portion.
