right click on a face and select - Create - Thicken Shape

in the status bar is states "Create a Thicken Feature/Part from the selected faces (s)."

Now I read that as including the ability to create a new feature under the part OR create a new part.

I don't want to create a new part, I want to add a "thickness intellishape" to the exisiting surface I'm working with (having extended the edges) and keep the maximum history. Is this possible or more likely have I missed something?

(i.e creating a new thick part wipes out any history built up on the surface)

Or is this to do with all this structured / inovative part business, but I can't create a structured part because I'm in inovate...


Thanks

The thicken as a feature is for structured parts (on surfaces not solids). To do it in innovative you have to create the thicken part then boolean it to the main part.
