  Incident Diagnosis
  The error message was not clear because we
  wanted to read a non valid element from a list.
  .
  Correction Explanation
  A clear and complete error message is now
  displayed. (it is the PER closure)
  " Feature definition error:
  Ribbon computation : invalid collision detected in
  the created geometry. Decrease the parameter
  value, change the operand , or add limiting
  element ."
  .
  Moreover by clicking on the preview and OK
  button, the draft skin in error is now displayed in
  red : the draft cannot be created because the skin
  is twisted. It is normal behaviour ; this draft is not
  possible.
  .
  Answer and By-Pass
  Concerning draft impossible creation, here are
  some methodology remarks :
  - Features are not created in a consistent way : the
  drafts should be done before the fillets.
  Especially fillets like EdgeFillet.44 should be created
  after the draft of scenario (they are one reason
  why draft skin twists)
  Assemble.1 and Edgefillet.61 should be also
  created after the draft of your scenario.
  .
  - Please also note that the message about already
  drafted face is expected, because of Draft.6
  existence.
  .
