I tried both approaches. Neither worked. I want it to be a thin feature. Is that problem?

I get rebuild error: sketches used for revolve features use a single, non-self intersecting contour, and either a single center line, or one that is currently selected. Also I dont have the surfaces tab.

Right click on your file name and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder and attach the resulting *.zip file here.

On this particular revolution I could not do a Thin Feature in the revolve.
I had to Revolve and then Shell
or
Surface Revolve and Thickne.

When you Shell you click on the faces you want to remove (in this case the bottom face).
