Things to consider with rounds and draft angles


If you add both rounds and draft angles to a model, there are some important issues you must consider before deciding on the order in which you add these features. If you add the rounds first, the rounded faces no longer have a constant radius and are conical.

If you add the rounds after the draft is applied, the radius value remains constant.

The manufacturing process you use to produce the actual part may be the factor that determines when the rounds are added.
