Data Structures
class	BRepOffsetAPI_DraftAngle
	Taper-adding transformations on a shape. The resulting shape is constructed by defining one face to be tapered after another one, as well as the geometric properties of their tapered transformation. Each tapered transformation is propagated along the series of faces which are tangential to one another and which contains the face to be tapered. This algorithm is useful in the construction of molds or dies. It facilitates the removal of the article being produced. A DraftAngle object provides a framework for: initializing the construction algorithm with a given shape, acquiring the data characterizing the faces to be tapered, implementing the construction algorithm, and consulting the results. Warning This algorithm treats planar, cylindrical and conical faces. Do not use shapes, which with a draft angle added to a face would modify the topology. This would, for example, involve creation of new vertices, edges or faces, or suppression of existing vertices, edges or faces. Any face, which is continuous in tangency with the face to be tapered, will also be tapered. These connected faces must also respect the above criteria. More...
