SpaceClaim Error Failed to Thicken faceted body

Hope this is the right place to ask, but I consistanly get this error in Space Claim when using the thicken tool for the inside of a model

I've tried reapairing but nothing works.

 

Thanks, Chet

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.
