Views, Continued Removed sections A removed section is a section or partial section not directly projected from the view containing the cutting plane and not revolved or turned from its normal orientation. A removed section does not align with any other view, but, sometimes appears on centerlines extended from the section cuts. Use removed sections to show small details and to facilitate dimensioning. For this reason, they are often drawn in enlarged scale. Label removed sections alphabetically from left to right on the drawing and corresponding to the letters at the end of the cutting plane line. Precede the letters with the abbreviation SECT or SECTION. To avoid confusion, do not use the letters I, O, and Q. When you draw the removed section enlarged, indicate the larger scale beneath the section title. Figure 3-56 shows removed sections.
