   • Face on the plane.
   • Face on the cross section.

   • The first angle value determines the draft in the reference face's normal direction (A). In the example, the value of the second angle is 0.

     

   • The second angle value determines the draft in the opposite to normal direction (B) of the same reference face.
   • A positive angle value will create a cutout draft (C).
