I'm only allowed to select one face at the time to draft

Hi everybody. I'm working on a part and wanted to use the draft command. But after selecting the pull direction, I can only select one face at the time to draft. All the faces can be drafted without any problem, but I have to create a new draft command for each face and it creates unneccesary many actions in my timeline.

Hi,

Please share the file and tell which faces you are talking about.

How does my process differ from yours.  I am creating a Draft of three sides all at once.

My guess is you have a size set for the draft so it's applied as soon as you select a face? Either set the draft to zero while selecting or hold the Ctrl key down to add faces to your selection.

Holding ctrl when selecting did not work when I had the problem. And I can't remember if I had a size set for the draft, but I tried many times (going out and back into the function). But after a while it suddenly worked, so that may have been the problem and solved accidentally. Thanks.
