Front view (or) Top view will be in section depends on the type of cutting plane with respect to the reference planes, which are summarised below:

CUTTING PLANE AND SECTION

Front view (or) Top view will be in section depends on the type of cutting plane with respect to the reference planes, which are summarised below:

Note : Cutting planes of profile plane and oblique plane are not in common use and hence not used in this text.


To have clear understanding, the four different types of cutting planes used to cut a square prism (shown in Fig. 15.9i) and the corresponding sectional views obtained are presented below in Fig. 15.9. (ii).
