I have added image hover tags for you. However, the image descriptions may not be correct or descriptively accurate. Could you check and maybe [edit] if necessary. Thanks.

Also, is this related to 3D printing? Are you going to print the resulting model? If not, then you might want to ask on Engineering.SE (but please don't cross post). See [Where can questions that are purely about 3D modelling, or CAD, software be asked?](https://3dprinting.meta.stackexchange.com/q/558/4762)

@Greenonline yes, I'm planning on printing it.  I guess maybe it's more of a pure CAD question, though, so point taken... Although I finally brute forced my way through the workflow and my emboss is too small for the printer resolution :)

No, no, we have a very *very* low bar for 3D printing related questions. You only have to mention in the question that you plan on printing it... :-) Could you post an answer to explain how you solved your issue? Thanks.

@Greenonline I'm not sure I'd say I "solved it"...  I just spent way too long manually selecting hundreds of paths with the shift key held.  I would like to leave it open in case someone actually knows

Emboss STL from SVG

# Emboss STL from SVG

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-04-25)

I'm new to Fusion 360 (have basic experience with modeling software) and really struggling with what I thought would be a simple task.

I'm trying to remix [this STL](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3188243) to emboss it with [this SVG](https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1e2OnQXtFFDJptjiKnVGymLGLxWYrWT-W9xci2TbGHi8/edit?usp=sharing).

Steps I've taken:

* Imported STL
* Generated Faces
* Converted Mess
* Started Sketch on face
* Imported SVG
* Create -> Emboss

However, I can't figure out a sane way to actually select the lines in the sketch during the emboss setup. I tried creating a selection set, and that didn't work. I feel like I must be missing something fundamental.
