Hi
How do I make this a thick solid shell? I created it in Part WB so I cannot use PartDesign WB.

Re: hollow out object
You can use it Part Design. Just select the Cut, go to Part Design and create a new Body with it selected. It adds to the Body as a "BaseFeature". You can then use the Thickness tool on it. Unfortunately, Thickness is a finicky tool and often fails, as it does in this case, so Plan B:
Select the Cut and in the Edit menu -> Duplicate. Press OK. Be sure to also copy all of the dependencies it offers in the dialog. Edit the new Circle object to be the radius desired for the inside of the pipe. With that done cut the new Cut001 from the original Cut.
Edit: Part workbench has a Thickness tool, too. (Which also fails.)

Re: hollow out object
I would do all of this in PartDesign with an appropriate two-circle sketch. Here I reused your path, but you can better do it directly in PartDesign.
Edit: sorry, had uploaded the wrong file.- Attachments

Re: hollow out object
Offsetting of your pipe doesn't fail, it has endcaps that close it off to make it a shelled solid. Go to the data of the "sweep" and make the "solid" attribute false, then you can offset it the thickness you want, with fill offset true to make the pipe walls solid.
Re: hollow out object
Thanks, everyone that advised. Much appreciated!
