Hey,
I have imported a STEP model and would like to thicken all the lettered surfaces. SolidWorks doesn't seem to be able to do the Operation all at once so is there any work around to creating multiple Features?
Thanks for any Input.

Hi Mark,
Do they all lie on a common plane? You could start a sketch on one of them, convert all letters, then extrude.
Then you could tidy by using delete body on the surfaces.
Thanks, Kyle
*edit* you can also use surface extrude command, click on the surfaces (or alt + click if planar), specify the direction and end condition.
Yeh both of These worked for me. I don't like using delete bodies much so extruding Surface and knitting was "cleaner".
However it does seem silly that thicken wouldn't work with multiple planar surfaces.
