Depict internal features with section views
- [Instructor] When parts have internal features, orthographic views will not typically show them clearly. In these cases, section views are used to slice through the part and reveal the internal geometry. In this video, we'll show you when a drawing might benefit from a section view, how to present them on the drawing sheet, and some tricks that will make section views even more useful. This flange has an internal profile that isn't visible in any of the external views. To show these features, we'll slice through the part and create a section view which will allow us to dimension the internal geometry. Just as with auxiliary views, the arrows of the section line indicate the direction we are looking towards in the section view. The hashing indicates material that is being cut by the section plane. It is usually preferred to keep the section view aligned to its parent view. However when space doesn't allow this it…
