I use Pro. I'm not sure of the difference, though.

As for the thickness... It's easy. YOU MAKE A FUCKING BOX!

ZOMG!

It's a 3D application, you measure up however much you want. It even does fractions if you don't know that 3/4 = .75

There's also the Push/Pull tool which allows you to offset a face X distance, however, if you use it, one of the faces disappears. So you'll have a box with no top/bottom, basically.

Also, it has Dimensions under 'Tools' on the top bar. You can also make 3D text or just regular text with an arrow pointing to the origin (the place you clicked on).
