Offset Surface

Hello


I'm trying to offset the surface 0.6mmon the attached part to no avail. If i remove the bottom flange that flares up it works ok but then I have to add the flange seperately.


I began by using a revolve and the thicken sketch option but this never worked due to the flange again so I opted for a surface hoping to offset it.


Hope you can help


Thanks

JimiH,


The problem is not with the return at the bottom of the sketch, it's with the rads that are joined by a straight at the top of the posted pic, i.e. the 0.75mm Rad joins to a straight that then joins a 1.35mm Rad but they've gone 'negative'. Zoom into that area and you'll see what I mean. Fix that area of the sketch and it will offset.
