Are your Mesh Sketch extrusions coming out inaccurate? This video demonstrates how to use draft compensation within the Mesh Sketch tool.

By default, draft compensation is set to zero in the parameters, but if a model has drafted walls, the extracted profile will not be accurate. The tutorial walks through a couple of ways to calculate the correct draft angle first, then apply that value to the Mesh Sketch parameters to generate a properly compensated profile. Finally, this accurate profile is used to extrude the shape with the correct draft applied.
