H GC - Stepped Section

What is a stepped section used for in technical drawings?

• To show the external features of an object

• To display internal features that are not on a single plane

• To highlight the colour of an object

• To measure the weight of an object

In a stepped section, what should be used at the change of direction of the cutting plane?

• Dotted lines

• Thick lines

• Thin lines

• Dashed lines

Why might a full section not be sufficient for some objects?

• Because it only shows the external features

• Because it cannot show all internal features if they are not on a single plane

• Because it uses too much paper

• Because it is too complex to draw

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a stepped section?

• It uses a single, continuous cutting plane

• It offsets the cutting plane to pass through various features

• It is used when features are not on a single plane

• It uses thick lines at changes in direction

What is the primary purpose of using a stepped section in a drawing?

• To reduce the size of the drawing

• To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the drawing

• To ensure all important internal features are visible

• To simplify the drawing process
