After creating sheet metal parts on Creo 11.0.1, the wall thickness of sheet metal is set to read-only, so it can't be modified. I've already reported this bug to our distributor, but they said there is no solution right now, or return to old version. Is there any solution please share.

I don't use the sheetmetal features much, but a "trick" I might try is to use a relation to set the wall thickness. Sometimes there are parameters that are not editable directly but they can be changed with a relation.

In case you are completely unfamiliar with relations, you'd need to select the dimension that specifies your thickness, make a note of its name (something like "d10" or whatever). Then use Tools->Relations to enter something like d10=<new thickness>.

This is a huge guess on my part, I'm not confident you'll be able to skirt the issue with this, but it's worth a try.
