Where can i find 'New Thickness' Icon in Robot 2018

Hi,

I am currently running robot 2018. I am trying to model a panel floor - grating but cannot seem to find the 'new thickness' icon. I have tried geometry>properties>...??? new thickness is not there! (See attached document). Any ideas? Has it be omitted in robot 2018???

HI @Anonymous

As your structure is a 3D model you should change the model type from a plate to a shell (select the Silo button in the structure selection type palette).
