Q

what are sectional veiws

A

they show the inside of an object as if it has been cut along a plane.
these are useful to show initerior details whioch woulkd be hard to see in the hidden details on an ordinary orthographic veiw. where the cut has taken place is shown bt the cutting plane

Q

advantages of 3D CAD modelling

A

models can be manipulated to be veiwed around 360 degrees
more realistic than 2D CAD
depth is visible
