Analyze Surface > Draft Angle Analysis |
The DraftAngleAnalysis command visually evaluates surface draft-angle using false-color analysis.
Draft angle is often used to design injection-molded parts that must eject from molds.
Draft Angle Analysis options
Select an option that defines the pulling direction.
Uses the +Z of the world axes.
Uses the +Z of the CPlane in the selected viewport.
Uses the inverted view direction (target towards camera) of the selected viewport.
Uses the direction defined by picking two points.
Uses the tangent direction at the start point of the selected curve or edge.
Displays edges or isocurves on the analyzed objects.
Creates a curve along the line where the draft angle is equal to the upper value.
Creates a curve along the line where the draft angle is 0.
Creates a curve along the line where the draft angle is equal to the lower value.
Click to create curves based on the state of the draft curve checkboxes above.
Open Polygon Mesh Options to change analysis mesh density. Increasing mesh density improves the analyzing accuracy.
Select more objects to analyze.
Remove selected objects from the analysis.

The DraftAnglePoint command places a point object at a surface's draft angle break location.
Draft angle is often used to design injection-molded parts that must eject from molds.
Command-line options
The angle in world coordinates of a line tangent to the surface at the draft angle point.
The direction of the part ejection in world coordinates.
Restricts the point placement to an edge.
