Unit 2: Section Views


A section view is when you take the object and cut it in half with a cutting-plane line and draw the inside without all the hidden lines. When the section is drawn the parts of the object the cutting-plane cut throw are filled in with hatching to let the viewer know that the object was solid there. 
This unit was EXTREMELY hard for me. Grasping the concept wasn’t that hard but seeing the figure in isometric view and having to draw the inside was very hard for me. To be able to look at the object and get spatially where each part should be was almost impossible for me to grasp.  The bell hub was the last drawing to be completed in this unit. It took me almost a week to complete because I drew it wrong and had to redraw a couple of times, but once the drawing was explained to me I was able to complete the bell hub more accurately.
I learned a lot in this unit though I still need much practice in drawing section views. But I have a firm hold on the concept and will continue working on it and bettering my skills as I go forward in this class, building on prior knowledge and gaining new knowledge every day.
