please see attached video and dgn file.
This is a very common and frustrating occurrence with connect. On this occasion the error states ''the Feature #2 cannot be created as it produces geometry that exceeds the solids area. Check the 'Solids area' setting in the working units section of the design file settings'
Firstly, there is no thicken #1 this is a surface with 0 thickness.
secondly, the solids are is 4.2km. this object is around 3.2m long and I am trying to thicken by 50mm so definitely not outwith 4.2km
normal work around is to 'convert to smart solid' and retry however in this instance it makes no difference.
When using legacy solids tools, I am able to extrude along path, so far as the preview shows, but the solid does not complete.

I have a simple slab trying to cut a circle and I get the same error
It would be a better idea to post your own separate question to the MicroStation Forum rather than onto an old post that is over 3 years old. You should also provide details of the software and version being used. It would also be helpful if you could provide an example file, screen captures and error messages so your particular issue can be investigated as it may not be related to this issue.
