Thicken command won't select any face in any component or body.

I opened a couple designs and numerous Components/bodies and can not select any face or chain of faces to use thicken. Even a simple washer has nothing selectable when hovering over bodies and faces.

I have used thicken before in surface mode and (I'm sure) in solid mode.

The component is not locked or unselectable.

Using the personal-use version.

Thanx

Check your Selection Filters, be sure they are all selected. They are in the upper right of the menu bar.

Yes Sir they are. Oddly shell works and faces are selectable but still nothing in thicken. Thicken in surface mode works

Thanx J

@gee.moe - Thicken ONLY works on surface bodies. That is its intended usage: to turn a surface body into a solid with some thickness. Use Offset Faces in the Solid tool set to "thicken" a solid body (meaning: add material to a set of selected faces in a solid)

Offset faces is a bit more work but a great solution. I wanted to thicken to make clearance in body to body fit in 3d printing.

Appreciate the help!
