Thickness of the object surface for an impossible antenna radom

3D Design Surface Modeling
1

Hello

I'm creating a radom for an antenna.
Through several sketches, I created the surface of my radom.
I would like to give it a thick (2.5mm). But impossible, I drank.
Either I am doing it wrong, or there is a problem with the construction of my surfaces

attached is the file I'm working on, if anyone has an idea of the problem
radom-test-1. SLDPRT (679.0 KB)
.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards
Laurent

Hello;

Please remember to give the Solidiworks version each time you post an SLD file*
Presumably you are using a license higher than 2022 since I can't open it...
Screenshots are therefore appreciable in this case (part and construction tree).

Note: I didn't know what an antenna radome was...

Kind regards.

Hello

Surface tools tab and "thicken", perhaps?

Hello @laurentl38 ,

Indeed, the " Thicken " function refuses to do the job. Hence the idea of digging...
Generating surfaces with the " Smooth" function using your sketches results in less dented geometry. By adding a flat surface to the base of the radome, it is possible to sew all the surfaces together by generating volume.
Finally, the " Shell " function accepts to generate the shape with a thickness of 2.5 mm.

@m.blt I was just going to ask you if you had tried the " Shell " function, well done!

Hello

For the version, I'm on 2023
@m.blt I hadn't all thought of the " shell " function, very well thought out...
Thank you very much for your help.
