Within the Profile, Areaclear, Lace or Roughing cycles you can define a draft wall with optional blend radii from the cycle dialog. This frees you from having to generate blend radius geometry or other geometry for the wall. The draft wall parameters will be applied to the profile and any islands contained within the profile.
Simple geometry...

|
Draft Angle - This defines the draft angle from the vertical. The angle is always a positive number ranging from >0 to <90. The diagram on the right shows a draft angle of 20 degrees. The draft angle runs from the cycle level to the depth. |
|
|
Upper Radius - This is a blend radius between the profile level and the draft wall. |
|
|
Lower Radius - This is a blend radius between the Depth and the draft wall. |

Both Upper Radius and Lower Radius specified: |

Digitise Contour Wall - Check this box to take the draft wall values from a digitised entity rather than entering the individual values.
