Wrestling Sheet Metal

Take a look at this cyclone inlet scroll section. I'm frustrated with a couple items:
a) Converting the body to sheet metal will only offset to one side, not the side I need to go. Do I need to redraw everything a metal thickness smaller in order to him my dims?
b) What happened in the inlet crotch?

Any advise?

    On the scroll, I think it's having trouble with the knifepoint section on the sketch. I put a small flat in here and the sheet metal convert then worked in both directions and does not lose all the material which I think you see as an issue

    Thanks Bruce. I should have played with it just a little more. It was late and I got frustrated. Thanks for figure this out for me.
