Summary
The color spectrum shows draft angle changes within a specified range. The
maximum draft angle displays as red, and the minimum draft angle displays
as blue.
If the surface is parallel to the construction plane with surface normals facing
in the same direction as the current UCS, the draft angle is 90.0. When
perpendicular, it is 0. If the surface is parallel to the current UCS with surface
normals facing in the opposite direction than the current UCS, the draft
angle is -90.0.
To change the draft analysis display settings, use the
Draft Angle tab (page
66) of the
Analysis Options dialog box (page 64).
