Conventional
breaks
Use conventional breaks, often referred to as S-breaks, when elongated
objects cannot fit on the drawing paper and you must figuratively remove a
portion of the object. For this to work correctly, the object must maintain
the same dimensions throughout its length or have a uniform taper. The
break lines are usually drawn freehand; however, beginners may have more
professional results if they use an irregular curve, compass, or s-break
template.
