2. Click the rib icon in the ribbon tab. The rib dialog will appear. Select the profile you want to create the rib.
3. Set the direction of extrusion. There are two types of extrusion.
+ Normal to sketch plane. Extrudes geometry normal to the sketch plane. The Thickness is parallel to the sketch plane.

4. In the shape group, you can change the direction of extrusion.
5. Type the thickness value in the thickness box. Click a flip icon to apply the thickness to one side of the profile or extend it equally on both sides of the profile
6. Setup the depth of rib. There are two options you can select: to next and finite.
7. Click OK to finish this command.

You can do as step 4,5,6. But with normal to sketch plane method you can select draft and boss options.
+ In the draft group, there are two hold thickness option: At top or at root.
