Problems making a boss feature
Problems making a boss feature
(OP)
I'm trying to make a boss feature on a planar face, and I get "Boolean Operation on Solid Failed". There are no features that it would interfere with, and it's on an absolutely flat face. Any idea why I'm getting this?

With this feature, you need to be away from the face when doing the profile (for example in a parallel plane) and then send the extent towards the face (through next option in the extent step).
So, when you are placing the boss(es) in the profile step, you are at the top of the boss if you want.

The parasolid kernel can not create geometry that is connected at a single edge. In other words, imagie drawing two squares attached at a corner vertex ONLY. If you extend these sketches in a protrusion, they will be connected by a singe line/edge and thus a non-manifold body.
The other typical non-manifold body case is when a circular boss is tangent to a side of a box. The tangent LINE is a single connected edge that creates the non-manifold issue.
Without seeing your geometry, that's all I can think of.

What did you do to make it work ?
To rotate the bosses, edit the profile, right-click on the boss, choose 'properties' and enter the angle.
