SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on determining the appropriate view to display when making a horizontal cut in technical drawings. It clarifies that for a vertical cut, the upper view is shown, as indicated by the arrows on the cut line which dictate the direction of the section view. The user seeks guidance on how to represent a horizontal cut, specifically its shape and drawing technique, as their reference material lacks this information. A link to a tutorial on section drawings is provided for further assistance.
