Cutting plane cuts fully through object, remove half How hidden lines become solid (serve as boundary of section lines)
Half Section Cutting plane passes halfway through object. Used for symmetric parts. Omit hidden lines.
Offset Section Cutting plane line not straight but offset to pass through important features Don’t show cut formed by offset
