Draft Analysis
- [Instructor] So, let's dive a little bit deeper into understanding Draft, and using Draft Analysis. So, let's jump back to our Link2 design, and remember we added a draft angle to this, so it could be removed from a mold. In this case, I might just roll back my part slightly here to remove this fillet just for a second, and take a look again, we can maybe jump to a front view and notice, of course, there's an angle here, and I threw that in the extrusion itself. So if I ever wanted to edit that, I can go back into my extrusion here, edit that feature. And remember how we built this up earlier was adding this 12 degree draft angle. So I can change this value at any time, of course. I can also turn this off completely, and let's say okay. And there's one other way that we can add draft angles as well, and that's directly with the Draft command. So it does the exact same thing, except with the Draft command I have a little bit more control, as I can pick and choose which faces I'd like…
