Adding draft to planar surface - ribbon error - V5
Adding draft to planar surface - ribbon error - V5
(OP)
Hello.
I am V5R10.
I am trying to add draft to a "U" shaped planar face with a surface for the neutral element. I keep getting an error that says, "A single operation cannot process more than one ribbon." Does anyone know what this means and how I can get the face to draft?
Thanks,
Sheryl Fredricks

Try removing the radii from the U shape, add the draft, and then add the radius back to the drafted edges.

My U shaped surface is actually square. I guess I should have said "a square U shaped surface." There are no rounded features involved. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.

Also, the deeper (longer) the draft is, the more likely you are to have the problem.

I just tried it myself, but I couldn't recreate it to get the same error message as you.
What release are you using? (I'm on V5R11 SP3)
Are you using the default draft options, or have you chosen other options in the More panel?

More info about what I am trying to do: The neutral surface is in the middle of the surface that I would like to draft. It doesn't come close to the bottom of the U.
The face that I am trying to draft is quite short (<10mm).
