I hoped to make this a thick solid: (I assume the selected face would be gone.)
Then I get this error.
FCStd attached

Re: Failure to make a thick solid.
there are several errors, the first is not to force the sketches
it is better to make the general shape and cut the angle with a Pocket
tickness on B-splines never work perfectly
all that's left is to make a scaled clone and do a boolean subtraction

Re: Failure to make a thick solid.
1) Delete Thickness
2) Select body, in View tab of property view set Display mode from "Through" to "Tip".
3) Go to draft workbench. Select same face as for thickness and create new FaceBinder.
4) Select Body and create new Draft clone.
5) Select Clone, in Data tab of property view expand Scale property to get at x, y, and z.
6) For x property click f(x) icon or press = key on keyboard to bring up formula editor, enter:
7) Repeat for y and z substituting YLength and ZLength, respectively.
8) Select Clone, edit Placement property so that Z = -1.9.
9) Go to Part workbench.
10) Select Clone first, and then select Body (order of selection is critical), then use the Part Cut tool to create Cut object:
Error: Resulting shape is invalid. Why? Expand the Body, click the Pocket, and in the data tab of the property view set Refine = False. Do the same for the Additive Loft.
Now the cut succeeds.
11) Select the Facebinder in the tree view and click the Extrude toolbar icon. Set custom direction to Z = 1. Do the extrude. Make sure the Solid property is set to True. If the Extrude goes in the wrong direction, set the Reversed property to True.
12) Select the Cut, and then the Extrude, and do another Part::Cut.
2) Select body, in View tab of property view set Display mode from "Through" to "Tip".
3) Go to draft workbench. Select same face as for thickness and create new FaceBinder.
4) Select Body and create new Draft clone.
5) Select Clone, in Data tab of property view expand Scale property to get at x, y, and z.
6) For x property click f(x) icon or press = key on keyboard to bring up formula editor, enter:
Code: Select all
(Body.Shape.BoundBox.XLength + 1.9 * 2) / Body.Shape.BoundBox.XLength
8) Select Clone, edit Placement property so that Z = -1.9.
9) Go to Part workbench.
