Need Help conforming extrusion to curveture

caden_casas

So I can't seem to figure out how to make this extrusion conform to the curvature, and not entirely merge with the main part(want it to slightly stick up from the base part). So just seeing if I am missing something or it is somewhat complicated to do, any help would be appreciated!
Here is just the main curved part: 
And here is the part I am trying to conform with the curvature extruded:

The last steps you need to do are creating an offset surface of the face you are extruding from (do this before you extrude the details you've shown above) then use replace face for each of the extruded pieces to match the curvature.

If this is a cylindrical surface the wrap feature may also work here.

After working through this myself I did an Extrude>Up to face of the offset surface instead of having to do a secondary action of replace face. Here is my attempt: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/341c099909fb72e76fcf48f2/w/e6ebe21d992d6e81b8a3d2f2/e/f42d2c74550a2a9956e8b383

Thank you! I tried it, and it worked perfectly.

You can also skip any offset surface and just split the face and use thicken, which helps if you want the protrusion to wrap around the side of the part. It can produce some undercuts you'll have to fix if it's a molded part, but for a 3D print or something it's a simple way. Here's a quick example. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/3dc5bfb673269476cef03a7b/w/fadbc8a557ee4a7bace87ec7/e/05056306245c6c3d22798de8
