I have a simple planar surface which I would like make thicker via the Properties tab > Thickening.
My file is set to meters and the absolute tolerance to 0.001. When entering the value into the thickening value form, Rhino won’t accept a value below 0.01.
It looks like there is a bug in the Thickness tool.
To test this, I make a rectangular surface using the Meters template.
Before trying to Thicken it, I went in to File settings, changed and modeling tolerance to 0.0001 (one order of magnitude finer then the modeling accuracy, AND set the display tolerance to 3 decimal places. Even then the Thickness tool only displayed 2 decimal places and didn’t sorl.
However, Offsetting the surface by 1 mm did work.
I tried in V9 too. The default tolerances are tighter in V9 but the Thickening tool had similar, but not identical problems too.

This should probably be buggified.
