draft angle on a logo on an angled surface?
(OP)
I have an angled surface that I want to have a logo placed on.
Apparently the idea is to cast the part, powder coat it, and then grind off the powder coat on the logo to have the metal color shine thru.
However, I'm having trouble placing a draft on the logo.
I've put the logo on the surface of the 45deg angled part. then I created a datum that is offset from the base (normal to the pull direction) and extruded the logo .060 up. this created the logo, however, when I try to draft the sides, proe fights me.
I've tried using blends, but the logo looks funky. I then tried rounds, chamfers, but I can' t get anything that looks satisfactory. I don't understand why I can't just do a normal draft on it.
anyone got any advice?

I wasn't grabbing the full surfaces, and when I did, I grabbed all of the logo, not just one chain. If i do it in several steps, I can get the logo drafted.
