I’m trying to create a lip around the edges of a box:

I’m stumped.

Hi,  
Use Chamfer/Fillet tool on the body.

Or you create your sketch with rounded corners if you prefer, and use Offset Edge tool To make the thicknesses.

Holy Cow, Xdrakosha!! It worked! Do you have any idea how many ways I tried to do that with the offset edge? But, seeing you do it showed me the way! Thanks!!!

This is only one way. There are a lot of other ways with the same result. You need to learn them all and choose simplest in your work.

For example, try to think how to make that 🙂
