Section Views

[Geno678]

I know how to create a section view; however, I was wondering if you could do multiple section views and put them all on one section view. Say for example. I have a circle, and I put a section view down the center. It will show me that section, but what if I want to add in two more separate section views within that view. Is such a thing possible when drafting. Here's a picture for an example.

See how I have section C in the picture. Well how can I have section A and B inside of C as well.

Sort of.

When you draw your cutting plane, instead of a straight line crank it through the points of interest.

I did that but then the stuff from the center cut is missing

It sort of comes out. but the bottom is a little shorter.

Would the arcs work.

Not sure about curved cutting planes. Even if SE supports it, it seems ambiguous as to what it would display.

I tried it, and it was a bit more accurate.

I figured it out. What I did was, I made a sketch first, I made a few circles and a few lines intersecting my cutting sections, and then I went to cutting plane, and followed those lines exactly the way I put them, and wallah. I was able to get this.

If you wanted to do multiple section views without having to section the whole part, broken out sections can work nicely too. I know you've already found your solution...just tossing another idea out there.
