Creating a raised edge

Hello,
If you look at this drawing:
I have created a border along the edge of the parts that is higher than the rest of the part.
I created this by offsetting the border 1mm inward and then extruding this 1mm wide area with add to the original part. This seems to work but...I have run into trouble!
.
It really depends if I can get an offset to work or not. In this example this method works but in other drawings I have, I can't get the offset to work and I can't creat the 1mm edge to extrude.
Is there another way to achieve what I'm trying to do?
I don't think shell works here because I only want the long edges to be higher and not short ends or the holes.
Thank you.
