Menu access: Shape | Boss
Description:

You can impose a boss direction
different from the normal to the reference face by selecting the EXTRUSION
DIRECTION button.
The NEW
CONTOUR button
allows you to directly create a contour to be used as the boss base contour.

icon in order to create different boss sharing
the same parameters from the same reference face.
If you want to create
a boss using a curve parallel to the edges of a face, or if you want your

the Shape

will extrude a face with the option of giving an offset distance from
the edges.
