  I am unable to add wall thickness of a very thin wall in the attached model. See pic above. I always get error message. I tried all options. Can you advice how can I make similar thick wall like the rest of the part has?
  Thank you.

  Hi SandorToaso
  
  I would recommend copying and pasting the desired surface. You can then use the Pull command (No Merge ) to create a thickened solid beginning with the duplicated face. Then you just merge them back to make one solid.
  
  I think you would also want the walls below the highlighted ones shown in the image to be thick, that might require manual construction with using Blend tool with respective guide curves, then basically pulling it.
  
  Let me know if this helps.
  
  Regards.
