How to define overall thickness of an object?

[tomjonesrocks]

I have a Sketchup file for a specialized backplate of a guitar (that has a bulge for some additional electronics) I want printed. I’m trying to figure out how to change the overall thickness of an object (my hope was I can have the shape I’ve drawn printed at a 1/16" thickness).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated - thanks! I’ll try to attach my model -

Here’s a quick way using two very useful Plugins.
Fredo6’s Joint Pushpull to get the thickness and Thomthom’s Solid Inspector 2 to clean up the group to make solid for printing.

Hard to imagine a more helpful response. Thank you so much!

You’re welcome.
I could have been slightly more helpful and given you links to the plugins. I’ll go and flagellate myself before I sleep.

If you insist.
Now when I said… Myself, well I’m old and sometimes I need help.
