General Description
After the splitting process, the Draft Angle Analysis tool may produce an incorrect result due to a Normal pointing in the wrong direction. Invoking the Validate Draft angle tool displays the model in black and white: the white faces indicate that the normals are pointing outward, while the black faces indicate that they are pointing inward.
Notes:
The function does not appear in the feature tree.
The Normal display of faces is not changed but only modified in the special Draft angle Analysis attribute.
No apply button is used; the result is previewed automatically.
In the example below, we see two faces that need to be validated after invoking the Draft Angle Analysis tool. These faces appear in red:
To fix these problematic faces:
Run Validate Draft Angle. The problematic faces are colored black.
Pick the problematic faces.
Click OK. The problematic faces are fixed.
