Creating a Variable Draft Angle

Draft Angle lets you draft faces by using different angle values.

Before you begin: Create an extrude surface and close it.
  1. In the Face(s) to draft box, select the face(s) to be drafted.
    Important: Multi-selecting faces that are not continuous in tangency is not allowed.
  2. In the Neutral Element box, select a surface or plane or a face.
    An arrow appears on the 3D shape, indicating the default pulling direction. The app detects two vertices and displays two identical angle values.

    The Support box is filled with the volume owning the selected face.

  3. In the Angle box, increase the angle value.
  4. To edit the other angle value, select the value in the geometry and increase it in the dialog box.
    Alternatively, double-click this value to display the Parameter Definition dialog box, then edit the value.
  5. Click Preview to see the draft to be created:
  6. In the Points box to add a point, click a point on the edge.
  7. For the new point, enter a new angle value.

    The new radius value is displayed.

  8. Click OK to confirm the operation.
