The process continues moving across the Section AA line along the plan
and dropping a perpendicular line where the cut line crosses a plan con-
tour line. Once all the contour lines corresponding to the contour lines on
the plan have been located below, a line that will represent the section view
is drawn by connecting the “dots,” as shown in Figure 7.19-D. In this case,
the section constructed shows the existing terrain with a hill shape in the
center and valleys to either side
