Question is the subject. How can I draft these two surfaces separately?
When I select the purple cylinder, it selects the sphere also.
I know a workaround for this, but I'd like to know whether drafting can make it happen.
Fair enough. Here it is.
It's a copied solid because I can't share the base model. But I made it in surface with cylinders and sphere then trimmed the whole to get this form and created a solid with Close Surface.
I know there are several better ways to make this but I'm curious if it can be drafted this way.
Order of operations:
- Draft the 2 surfaces independently.
- Trim the drafted surfaces together.
- Fill the corner with tangent continuity.
- Join trim with corner cap.
If you want to do it in the Part Design Work Bench.
I would make two separate bodies with draft and rounded tip, then boolean add.
Then put in a fillet to get rid of sharp edge.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
It turns out the tangentially connected faces cannot be drafted in the way I wanted in my opening post. Anyway I accomplished it with revolved surfaces and some trimming.
both cones are tangent to the sphere.
