Hello, I have the following model which will require molding, how would you add draft to the highlighted surfaces on thepart? I'm having some difficulty!


The sides of the part aren't a problem.

FOLLOW the steps detailed below...
Create the L portion.
Create ONE single bump without the round.
Pattern the Bump
Draft the L portion as desired.
draft the MOTHER bump.
Pattern the Draft
Round the Mother BUMP
Pattern the Round.

Actually, I would be tempted to build the draft into the L portion section sketch as well as make the initial bump with the round & draft all one feature, Still very simple shapes and makes for a simple model to edit.

Thanks, suppose the lesson is think about Drafts before you model your part. Would have been nice if Proe could work this stuff out at the end of the modelling process.

should remove the round first. And don't call it drafting. That denotes the process for detailing. Call it. add +draft or -draft
