Shell Error under 5mm

Jarett_Elser

I would like to reduce the thickness of this part from 5mm to 2.5mm. However, when I edit the shell, the part can not regenerate correctly. Any thought on what the problem is? Thanks! https://cad.onshape.com/documents/5f3931165338df06ff76350c/w/e489c8be29debbe1e7cddeeb/e/74512c9dc9dd2af2adbbf35e

@Jarett_Elser, I suspect that the problem lies in Sketch1.  There appear to be several extra faces in there that are being used for Revolve1.  But Sketch1 is showing "Broken in-context references" that prevent me from digging much deeper.

If possible try simplifying Sketch1 to include just the center-line and one half of the outer perimeter (left half is fine).  Does revolving that simplified profile resolve your shelling thickness problem?

@matthew_stacy Thank you for the suggestion! Simplifying the profile did help to solve this shell thickness problem.
