If standard draft tools fail due to "impossible" geometry (e.g., complex curves or zero-thickness intersections), consider these alternative techniques: If standard draft tools fail due to "impossible" geometry (e
: Create two different sketches at different heights (one slightly offset or scaled) and use a Loft to connect them, naturally creating a tapered wall.
: Choose the specific faces you want to taper. Use the Detailed Preview option if available to visualize the direction of the draft. Confirm : Click OK to apply the solid feature to your model. Troubleshooting Complex Geometry
