Broken-Out Sections
A broken-out section is used when only a portion of the object needs to be sectioned. A broken-out section view of an object is shown in figure 23. A break line separates the sectioned portion from the un-sectioned portion of the view. A break line is drawn freehand to represent the jagged edge of the break. No cutting plane line is drawn. Hidden lines may be omitted from the un-sectioned part of the view, unless necessary for clarity. A broken-out section is also used instead of a half or full section view to save time.

Figure 22 shows the broken out section of an object. Majority of the technical details are also shown.
