Need help applying step draft to complex surface!
Need help applying step draft to complex surface!
(OP)
I'm having a real huge issue with adding a step draft to the cylindrical portion of the part. The part requires a .5 deg. draft sloping in the direction of the arrows. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks!

If you can keep your parting plane generally flat, I'd recommend inserting a plane where most of the red lines run and creating a regular draft feature (no Steps, no Parting Lines) after breaking the cylindrical surfaces with a Split Line. Ought to work quite easily unless there are other unpredictable jogs (non-planar) in the parting plane.

Draft the entire cylindrical surface in the upward direction, then split and add draft to the small surfaces that need downward draft.
