Emboss

Modifies a body with faces made by projecting a section along a vector. Emboss features are useful for stiffener and locator objects.

There is a wide range of ways to control and manage the shape and orientation of the emboss, its end caps, and its sidewalls.

To create an emboss, you must specify:

  • A closed section.
  • The faces to emboss.
  • An emboss direction (or accept the default, normal to section).

You can define the end cap (the floor or ceiling of the emboss) by choosing from a number of methods. For example, you could define the end cap as the offset of the selected faces to emboss.

You can specify that the sidewalls be drafted and where the draft starts (for example, draft from the end cap).

You can also create an emboss feature with edges trimmed by adjacent faces or, if the emboss falls on a free-edge boundary, by a user-selected vector.
