Shell Function Not Working (Again)

This isn't the first time I've posted this problem, but the issue seems to be different. Unlike my previous post, in this instance, on the opposite part, I was able to do all the fillets and then shell without issue. On the half of interest here (file posted below), it will not let me shell with the fillets in place. I attempted to shell and then fillet but wound up with holes where the fillet was placed. I've reviewed the build time line for errors and the only issues are showing up in sketches, none of the actual geometry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just had a play and it will shell to a wall of .082 " or just over 5/64. At 6/64 your internal fillets would require a negative radius, also known as not possible.

The target value is 0.125". I guess I should have included that information.

Then these fillets need to be over that 0.125", it is not possible to thicken the inside of a fillet to greater then it's radius.

Hi,

Why don't you create the hollowing at an earlier time. Then many problems will not exist later.
