Which software are you using (e.g., SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360)?

Select from Neutral Plane (most common), Parting Line, or Step Draft.

The "Draft" feature is used in CAD software (like SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360) to apply a specific taper (angle) to part faces, facilitating their removal from a mold. It is crucial for manufacturing, as it adds or subtracts material to faces to ensure the part is not parallel to the mold opening, allowing it to be ejected. How to Apply a Draft Feature View File

Use the Draft Analysis tool before finalizing to visually verify positive/negative drafts. Key Tips for Drafting

Apply draft features early in the model tree, generally before fillets and chamfers. Which software are you using (e

Specify the draft angle and select a neutral plane or surface to define the "pull" direction. Select Faces: Select the specific faces to be drafted.

Select a plane that represents where the part will split in the mold. It is crucial for manufacturing, as it adds

Use options like "along tangent" to automatically select connected faces. To provide a more specific guide, could you tell me:
