Imprint

Imprints a face based on a sketch to create a protrusion, depression or cutout.

Property Panel

Mode	Defines the mode of the imprint operation. The following modes can be selected: Raise: The structure described by the sketch will be raised to create a protrusion. Lower: The structure described by the sketch will be lowered to create a depression. Cutout: The structure described by the sketch will be punched out. Imprint Mode Raise, Lower and Cutout
Draft Angle	The angle to chamfer the sides of the imprint to build a draft. Draft Angle = 30°
Depth	The depth of the imprint. This parameter is only available if imprint mode is Raise or Lower.
Reselect Face	Starts reselection of the target face.

Remarks

The Imprint modifier uses a sketch to describe the raised, lowered or cut structure. For this, it constructs faces from closed contours. Open contours will be ignored. Contours which are completely inside another contour are considered as holes.
