  How “dirty” is the model? When the triangles are fully connected and are not smooth, then adding thickness can result in non-manifold bodies. If the surface you are trying to thicken is smooth, then you may be able to use the skin tool. See below for an example.

  I can upload the model but it seams that any file that I try gives the same results (Unless they're all "Dirty" files) I was under the impression that SC can still thicken non-manifold models. Will give the Skin-Tool a look. Thanks.
