To help me narrow down the best way to apply a draft, could you tell me:

The direction the mold opens, defining whether the draft goes inward or outward. Key Drafting Methods Ajb0003 mp4

Drafts prevent vacuum seals and surface scratches during mold extraction, extending tool life. To help me narrow down the best way

The surface or plane that acts as the anchor; the edge of the draft on this plane remains constant, while the rest of the face tapers. You can add a taper angle directly inside

You can add a taper angle directly inside the Extruded Boss/Base feature rather than as a separate, later step. Advantages and Best Practices

Used for more complex, split-mold designs. It requires a defined parting line (a line, edge, or curve) to draft upward and downward, often allowing for more control over complex contours.

You can apply drafts to multiple faces at once, reverse the direction, or change the angle after the part is modeled.
