Tips

• You can use the Emboss command to wrap text around a solid body, as long as the text doesn't use a single line font.
• In parametric designs, emboss features maintain their link to the original sketch. If you edit the sketch, the emboss features created from that sketch will update to reflect the change.
• If you adjust the depth value from positive to negative, the Effect will automatically change from Emboss to Deboss, and vice versa.
• Uncheck Tangent Chain if you don't want to automatically select tangentially connected geometry.
• Click the Flip Normal icon to flip the normal side of the selected sketch profiles.
