Neutral Plane Draft - Face Propagation Examples

Using Neutral Plane as the Type of Draft, you can draft some of the outer faces, all the outer faces, some of the inner faces, all of the inner faces, faces that are tangent, or a combination of both the inner and outer faces. In the PropertyManager, under Faces to Draft, select from the Face Propagation values below.

None. Only the selected face is drafted. The top face is used as the Neutral Plane in all the examples.

All Faces. Draft all faces next to the neutral plane and extruded from the neutral plane. The inner faces include any faces on the three boss-extrudes.
