Hey all,
I have a very particular problem. So I have a model with a curved surface. I crest a construction plane above the surface and create a sketch, then i insert my svg and resize and position it. I finish my sketch then I go to emboss and shift click the inside portions to emboss it down onto the curved surface (so it follows the curve).
This all works but when I finish the emboss the straight lines become all squiggly and misshapen.
I can extrude without issue however and they remain straight it's only when using the embossing function.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Attach the SVG file as well.

sorry for the stupid names I thought I would get it on there quickly while I try to figure out how to do a screen capture. In the below photo that is where I am trying to place the svg emboss in the middle
NVM I think I figured it out. I had to unselect this option called tangent chain whatever that means.
This is with tangent chain off. ^
This is with Tangent Chain on ^
I created two models. One is with the Emboss Command, as you probably used and one is an Extrusion then I cut off the top of the extrusion using an offset surface of the top of the key. Both are 1mm raised surface. I do not see much difference but you can decide.

Thank you I'll have a look when I get home. Appreciate all the help. I got one more question - related. Would it be possible to stack svgs and emboss on each other on the same fixed position creating *layers* with different Z heights
