Draft analysis and silhouette split using the API

Is it possible to access the sketches/ bodies/ whatever else is available features of a draft analysis tool? I'm trying the create a split line around a body based off of a draft analysis and while silhouette split is able to get most of the lines along the draft edge it misses a few, as can be seen in the image below. I have been able to split these faces by hand by drawing a sketch line across them and splitting them but this process costs me hours with some of the parts I'm splitting. Is there a way I can use the draft analysis tools with the API to try and speed up this process? Being able to access the edges shown by a draft analysis would speed up my process by a huge amount beyond just splitting the bodies.Split with draft analysis.PNG

There isn't any API support for the draft analysis functionality. However, have you tried the TemporaryBRepManager.createSilhouetteCurves method? Maybe this will provide some of what you need.
