Drafts that add material to casting using Wildfire

Drafts that add material to casting using Wildfire

Drafts that add material to casting using Wildfire

(OP)
Hello,
        I'm a new user of Wildfire and am working on a model of a steel casting that requires a draft angle of 1.5 degrees. The model is basically a cube shape and the dimensions are to perpendicular surfaces. I can use the draft tool with the draft hinge at the at the center to form the mold parting line, but can only get the tool to make a draft angle that removes material and not add it. The only way I know is to add material to make a protusion.
which would take more time.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Change draft angle to a negative value.
