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

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

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

ah another thing,
perhaps the Bevel function could be useful in this case?
