Hello,
I have a surface that looks like attached (Picture1). I need to thicken the surface 0.5 in inward (Picture 2), but the software does not seem to be responding to it well. I have attached the model as well. Any information or input is appreciated. Thank you kindly!

As a workaround, follow this workflow:
1. Cap the top with a planar surface
2. Knit the 2 surface bodies and for a solid
3. Shell the solid with .5 mm
You will get this warning:
The Thickness value is greater than the Minimum radius of Curvature. The shell may succeed, but could cause undesirable results, such as bad geometry. To find the Minimum radius of Curvature, use Tools, Check.
That being said, the end result might be close enough to what you need:
BTW, there si an interesting warning on the shell feature in the tree:
