Hello all,

I'm working on a model in Creo 6.0 of an eccentric shaft for a rotary (Wankel) engine. I'm struggling to model this draft feature on one of the lobes. You can see from the drawing it starts out as a 45 degree draft and then tapers to a 30 deg draft but I've yet figure out how to blend a draft like that into the outside diameter of the lobe.

Here is where I'm at with the model

Here is what one looks like that I found online

It looks like the 45 degree feature is a conical cut, centered on the axis of the large cylinder. Likewise the 30 degree cut is also concentric with the axis of the large cylinder.

Thank you, yes that was correct. The drawing was a little vague.
