I am trying to extend the side walls but OnShape fails whether I extrude in any direction.
I can only create a new object however then boolean will fail
here is a link to the document itself should anyone wishes to inspect:

I'm currently not an expert in sheet metal, but my search tells me that one of the limitations of being in sheet-metal-mode is that you cannot use "Add" or "Intersect" to directly add material to an active sheet metal part; you must use sheet metal specific tools like flanges or tabs to add material.
Probably due to all the bend calculations that need to be done at the end when flattening etc.

If you really need to do it this way, there is the 'Finish Sheet Metal Model' tool which you can use before your sketch and extrude.

Use the sheetmetal tab feature or move face for what you are trying to do.
I know that shape doesn't produce any collision errors….. Its not really manufacturable as one piece, is it? I feel any vendor would no-quote it.
Is this what your looking for?
