as you can see in https://cad.onshape.com/documents/e395667907981aa9f75b5072/w/6aa7bd99473017f95b30ec83/e/65d82cd04ce3d05e361c0f64
there are lots of extra steps to work around this Iimitation. Please roll behind „Wandung1“ and unsuppress „Wandung1“. Initially, I want to create a shell with 1mm for all global faces, but 25,5mm for all faces at the backside. This would allow to cut the resulting body by half and directly mirror the resulting body instead of adding all the extra steps. Just as an example …
I editted your part and halved the number of features (18>9).

By the way, I added Move face 1 to make the rib 1 mm thick as well. So the number of features is therefore 10.
I made the changes in Branch B1 so that you can compare workspace Main and B1 and see that there are no differences, exept the rib thickness.
A remark about mirroring: when you add a mirror then Boolesch 2 is not necessary afterwards.
