Easyway to Draft multiple faces

aaron_skidmore

Hi have a model with embossed lettering that has many faces, I want an easy way to draft all faces without having to individually select each face.

@aaron_skidmore  I would like to suggest one more method which may not be as quick as the draft option in the extrude feature but many times it helped me. Special case could be whenever I want the draft feature separately.

1.  After selecting the neutral plane, to select entities to draft just right click on screen and select option "Create selection" which will allow you to select multiple entities from available drop down options.
2. In this case I have chosen "Protrusion" option which further helped me to select all the extruded faces of text.
3. After this selection again deselect the top faces of text. Simply clicking back on top of each letter will automatically deselect the top faces. You will get the desired result.

See the below GIF animation


Please note that you need to deselect the top faces of each letter once multiple faces of protrusion are selected.
Thanks

With the draft command try a side view and window select across all the side faces, first clicking from the bottom rh to top lh corner. Ensure to only pass through the side faces

@aaron_skidmore use the draft option in the extrude feature that you used.
