Re: thickness
Select polygon as an object and use Extrude mode to add thickness, or select some vertices of the polygon and use the Extrude Edge function (menu: Vertex - Extrude edges | Shortcut is crtl + e)
Hope this helps |

Re: thickness
thx little_pinguin,
i thought there was a plugin to do that, 'cause I didn't wanted to use the extrude command, since i dunno how to resize a poly proportional, without stretching it. Clicking on "shift" doen't resize proportionally..... I saw that with gridsnap active it's easier to resize proportionally. thx again |

Re: thickness
Holding down CTRL while resizing will do 2 things
1) it resizes prportionately (If you grab the "corner" handles) 2) it resizes from the center Have fun Art |

Re: thickness

perhaps the Bevel function could be useful in this case? |
