Draft with step

See also: Draft, Draft on edge.

Menu access: Shape | Draft

Description:

Allows you to apply draft on faces with a step following edges.

General philosophy:

  1. Select on the  STEP DRAFT  button.

  2. Enter the draft angle to apply.

  3. Select the face to draft.

  4. Select all the fix edges of the face.

  5. Select the reference plane for the draft computation. This plane defines the zero position.

Exemple(s):

In this example, the red edge is a curve that has been imprint in order to divide the block face into two new distinct faces.

In the following illustrations, the reference plane used will be represented by a transparent face.

The reference edges and the reference plane will be used to compute the draft.

 

In this mode, the drafted face will not be divided according to the reference edges, but a step will appear on the edges.

Draft made in the mode  STEP DRAFT

Draft made in the mode  DRAFT ON EDGE

 

Available option(s):

With the option  Step mode= NORMAL FACES  or  DRAFTED FACES  the faces generated by the step can be:

 Step mode= NORMAL FACES

 Step mode=  DRAFTED FACES
