Re: Offset or thicken?
3D model. It's a turbine blade that gets a .0014" thick coating on just the airfoil and platform.

Re: Offset or thicken?
Any particular reason for offset over thicken? Offset causes the mass to double which I assume what J. Mather was eluding to.

Re: Offset or thicken?
Why not just a out of scale detail or mock up and then for a visual you could add some surface details etc...?
If your line width is .007" in your drawing and the actual offset is what you say then there would be no way of noticing a difference except possibly a thicker line.

Re: Offset or thicken?
If you need this for mass properties-then I would derive surface body and thicken
or
offset and thicken (as new solid) and then push out the individual solids to parts if needed.
