Practice Sectional Drawing

Sectional views are an important technique used by designers and engineers to convey complex technical information.

You should be comfortable with simple linear-sections. In this topic of learning, you will learn revolved-section, stepped-sections and partial sectional views. Mastering these technical views can help you convey vastly more information to your audience.
