How to emboss a logo to a non planar object

Eric_92

Ok this is something there has got to be an easy workflow too but I spent about an hour researching feature scripts and could not find a good match.

Say we have an injection molded part with an irregular surface and we want to lightly emboss a logo to it.




The only way I was able to get this to work was to do a removal extrude at a uniform depth greater than intended. Then after that sketch in a "Fill" profile and extrude within the part to fill back to get the depth of the emboss to be uniform through the curves.




It works but not the cleanest workflow... Thanks!

I was able to do this with your sample, but only if I moved the logo slightly so that the corners weren't so close to the joints of the surfaces.

You could project the logo sketch onto the surface(s), then split the 3 faces involved along the projcted curves, select only the logo faces, and thicken-remove.

Use Split Face with the sketch (it projects perpendicular to the sketch), then Thicken those faces into the model.

You can also just use Move Face after you split the faces.

Thanks guys but I'm not quite following.
Tinkered with these suggestions but not figuring it out.

Here is the sample public document:

Super helpful thank you! Oddly I still could not get the move face to work even after looking at your copy, but got the same result with a Thicken-removal after the split. Thanks, I don't use those functions much.
