Which term describes a sectional drawing based on a cutting plane line that extends completely through the object?

• A. Full Section
• B. Section View
• C. Detail View
• D. Half Section

Answer: (A)

A full section is created when the cutting plane line extends completely through the object, revealing the interior surfaces along the entire thickness. This type of sectional drawing lets you see hidden features, such as internal cavities, holes, or threads, as if the object were sliced open and laid flat. The cut surfaces are typically shown with hatch marks to indicate material that has been cut. This differs from a half section, which only cuts through half the object, leaving the other half intact, and from a detail view, which is just a magnified portion of the drawing. A section view is a broader term for any view produced by a cut, but if the plane goes all the way through, the result is a full section.
