Help Modeling Texture on Rubber Flashlight Boot. Model grip pattern on bottom

I am new to Fusion 360 and also 3d modeling in general.  I am familiar with 2D CAD.  This is all new to me.

I would like to know if someone can help me model the texture pattern on a flashlight switch boot.  I will include picture of the texture I need. 

 

It looks like the pattern is 1mm from tip to tip of each pyramid.  They are shaped like pyramids but instead of a point at the top they are rounded.   I will also include my f3d file so you can see the Switch Cap Boot I designed.

I need to make the texture raised up from the boots curved surface.

 

If there is a video somewhere that can show me how to do this that would be great.   I have seen several videos just to get to where I am now.  🙂

 

Any help would be appreciated.

attached is a quick attempt.  I can try and screen cast something later if this is what your looking for.  Step through the time line.

This is exactly what I am looking for.  A little smaller height of the peaks but still the same concept.  Now I just need to figure out how to do it to my model of the boot.

 

A screen cast would be very helpful.    I will see if I can come up with something just by going with your timeline.  I am very new to this so I am not sure how this will work..  🙂

 

Thank you,

Another method might be to use the CAM/Manufacture workspace:

That helped out for a different project.   I can do this on a shaft or a flat surface.   I have no problem doing that.  I am having a problem doing it on the convex surface of the boot.  It isn't a flat surface.  I can't seem to find a video showing how to do it on my type of surface.
