Types of Section Views:
Full Section View
In a full section view, the cutting plane cuts across the entire object
Note that hidden lines become visible in a section view

Types of Section Views:
Frustum of a solid and Truncated solid:
When a solid is cut by a cutting plane parallel to its base, theportion
Obtained after removingthe top portion is called "Frustum".
Whenasolidiscutbyacuttingplaneinclinedtoitsbase,theportion
obtainedafterremovingthetopportioniscalledthe"truncated"solid.

Types of Sectional Views for Solids:
By using the five different types of perpendicular section planes we obtain
the following five types of sectional views of solids:
1.Cutting plane is obtained by horizontal planes.
2.Cutting plane is obtained by vertical planes.
3.Cutting plane is obtained by auxiliary inclined planes.
4.Cutting plane is obtained by auxiliary vertical planes.
5.Cutting plane is obtained by profile planes.

Types of Sectional Views : Perpendicular to the VP & Parallel to theHP
1. A pentagonal pyramid of base 25mm and height 55mm rests with its base on the HP
such that one of its edges is perpendicular to the VP. A section plane parallel to the HP
and perpendicular to the VP cuts the pyramid at 20mm from the apex.

2. A hexagonal pyramid of base side 25 mm and altitude 55 mm rests on its base on
the HP with two edges of the base parallel to the VP. A cutting plane parallel to the HP
cuts the pyramid at a height of 25 mm above the base. Draw the front and sectional top
view.
