How to thicken this surface?

Hi,
The “offset” command can do the trick but it thickens improperly. It’s obvious in high amounts of thickness.

Hello - that would not be an offset, quite - I’d build the outside, then cap it and Shell to get the inside.

Cap and Shell was my first idea, but you have to build the outside surface first, anyway , as this shape is simple, you can make your outside offset, explode, extend surfaces then cut straight according inner height.
