Keyshot doesn't seem to be able to pick up the emboss I have on the spade from SW. Any help would be appreciated!

Check to see if the embossed part is in the scene list, if it is adjust it's position with .01 increments and see if it's hiding below the other geometry

Looking at your SW Feature Manager it appears it may not be a true emboss, but a Split Line?  If so, you need to be sure that the faces resulting from the split line are mapped a different color than the surface on which it lies, so that KS can identify it as such.  And there does need to be a surface, or face, not just a line.  For example, a "marker" line needs to be a "box", not just a line.

Thank! I assigned the colors in the part file and not in the assembly so it works perfectly now. :D
