On minute 3:43 they instruct to use Shell command,

As SOLIDEDIT Select a 3D Solid, select solid object, Click Add, Click Remove. Then I Click on three surfaces, next step

Remove faces or [Undo Add All] - I click enter.

Next step SOLIDEDIT Enter the shell offset distance - I enter either 1/8" or 1/4"

Next step SOLIDEDIT [Impront seParate solids Shell clean Check Undo Exit] <eXit>

I click enter twice -Nothing happens.

Please, advise

When i do a section of your solid in your dwg it looks like its already been shelled. Do you have an earlier version of your dwg before you shelled it?
