About Split Curves

This section deals with basic concepts you should know before beginning with creating split curves.

The draft direction is illustrated by a light source representing a vector.

If the draft angle is 0deg, the split curve is identical to the silhouette line of the selected surfaces if you are looking in the direction of the light source. The direction of the light source and the tangential planes of the surfaces in the points of the split curve are forming an angle of 0deg. The light source is located in this plane.

The draft angle is defined as follows:
