Hi all, am modeling a bottle that has a draft of 2deg applied onto Spout (see attached image). I need to model threads using a tapered Helix, how can I taper Helix ?...OR how can I taper threads?

    I agree @S1mon you don't typically need draft there (unless there's some strange conical closure system or something).

    Onshape does provide a conical helix if you really need one. You just need to make different selections when you're setting it up:

    There isn’t usually draft on the root surface of the threaded portion of a plastic bottle. That area would be molded with two side pulls.
