Change Thickness in 2D models

See my attached drawing for a visual description of my question: I have a simple 2D model of two rectangles. Lets say I set a thickness in Solid Mechanics (1m) but then use Change Thickness to change the blue rectangle to 1.5m. Will this add 0.25m to the thickness into the plane and 0.25m to the thickness out of the plane, thus keeping the orange rectangle centered in the out-of-plane dimension (figure A)? or will it add 0.5m to the thickness out of the plane so that the backside of both rectangles are aligned (figure B)?

Hi Joe,

Since you are solving the model in 2D, Figure A and Figure B are mathematically the same. It seems like you should use 3D.
