I'm sure someone can help, but that person will be more likely to find your question if you use a subject that piques their intereste, e.g.
Raised Image?
Red Flag your message. In the dialog box, ask that the subject line be changed, to whatever you like.

I'm working from memory, but I think there is an 'emboss' or similar command in SW.
Try running through the tutorials dealing with surfacing of, e.g. plastic molds.
