thin extrude with open loop

I am learning Alibre Design Expert V25.

I'm doing an exercise that uses an open loop shown to make an extrusion using the thin extrude.

When one hovers over Thin Extrude, one sees this:

But I get an error I can't do a thin extrude using the sketch with an open loop above. I'm doing it exactly like the example in my tutorial, and according to the manual.

What am I misunderstanding here?

Thanks.

Hello @mmtech,

change the dimensions of your open loop or reduce the wall thickness.
The volume of the body "cuts" it self...
