This structure is part of the PK_BODY_emboss_o_t and PK_FACE_emboss_o_t
options structure. It contains the data for constructing sidewall geometry.

Used in:

PK_BODY_emboss_o_t
PK_FACE_emboss_o_t

Description of fields:

'sidewall'              Method to construct sidewall surfaces.
                        Values can be:
                            PK_emboss_sidewall_tapered_c
                            PK_emboss_sidewall_ruled_c
                            PK_emboss_sidewall_swept_c
                            PK_emboss_sidewall_supplied_c
                        The default value is PK_emboss_sidewall_swept_c.

'taper_method'          Method to create taper surfaces.
                        Values can be:
                            PK_taper_method_isocline_c
                            PK_taper_method_curve_c
                            PK_taper_method_offset_c
                            PK_taper_method_normal_c
                        The default value is PK_taper_method_isocline_c.

'draw_direction'        The outward draw direction of emboss. For tapered
                        sidewall, it is the taper direction. For swept
                        sidewall, it is the direction to sweep the profile.
                        It is also a general reference direction of the
                        the face normal of resulting emboss cap.
                        The default value is (0,0,1).

'taper_angle'           The taper angle of tapered sidewall.
                        The default value is a zero angle.

'offset'                The offset distance for the offset taper method.
                        The default value is zero.

'top_surface'           The surface on which the profile edge's curve is
                        projected to create the relevant offset curve.
                        The default value is PK_ENTITY_null.

'sidewall_body'         The supplied sidewall body. It must be a non-disjoined
                        and manifold sheet body. It is also expected to be
                        large enough to reach both the target and the endcap.
                        The default value is PK_ENTITY_null.

'n_multi_taper_edges'   number of edges of profile body which will use
                        different taper angles for sidewall creation.

'multi_taper_edges'     Array of edges of profile body which will use different
                        taper angles for sidewall creation.

'multi_taper_angles'    An array of angles to be used by edges in
                        'multi_taper_edges' when creating tapered sidewalls.
