Embossing on a compound curve.

Gentlemen

I have used the embossing tool on this carriage roof to add the rain strips outlined in blue on the image.  This has worked successfully on the simple curved centre of the roof, but I can not create an embossed entity on the curved ends.

The outline was created on an offset plane.  When I try to emboss, I can select the profile, but not a surface below.

I have tried using Extrude and Project to surface commands, with no result in either.  Any suggestions gratefully explored.

Reading the posts, I see that development work was in progress for an enhanced emboss command.  Is this yet availalable?  I am using Fusion 360 2.0.15050 running on Windows 10.

The video is a bit long due to some extra work I had to do to get the Rain Strips so they matched the roof length as well as correct some errors.  Again, I am only guessing as the the amount the Rain Strips extend above the roof line but I used 0.5 mm.  If you want to change it, the first offset distance can be modified.  Model is attached.

Thank you sir.  I really appreciate the time and trouble you have taken to assist me.  Re the double body - I do not know why Fusion created that, yet sometimes did not appear to create the new bodies for the offsets.   (I have worked my way throught this model more times than I wish to count, but when I started, I had a lot more hair!)

Now to play the video again (several times to take it in) and hopefully achieve the desired model result.   Thanks again.  I will accept the solution when I find the button......
