The <b>Extruded boss</b> operation allows you to easily add material on a \b solid by extruding a profile along the normal to its plane.

To produce the <b>extruded boss</b>:

<ol>
<li>Draw the \b profile of the extrusion. It can be:
 
 <ul>
 <li> a <a href="create_sketcher_page.html">\b Sketch </a> drawn on a planar face of the object you want to boss.</li>
 
 <li> any closed edge or wire of the desired shape (circle, ellipse ...).</li>
 </ul>
 
</li>

<li> In the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>Operations - > Extruded Boss</b> or click on 
\image html extruded_boss.png </li>

<li> Fill in the dialog box fields:

</ol>

The input arguments are:

- The <b>initial shape</b> you want to add material on. It must be a solid or a compound made of a single solid.

- The \b profile. It must be a \b closed edge or wire and it must be \b planar.

- The \b height of extrusion. It's calculated from the <b>base profile</b> along the normal to its plane.

And optionnaly:

- A <b>draft angle</b> in degrees. Activated by clicking on \image html draft.png

The direction can be reversed by pushing the <b> Change direction </b> button: \image html change_direction.png


This functionality is available via the textual interface with the command:
