    Modifying Imported Geometry

    Imported files typically cannot be modified like from-scratch models because the source files do not contain the history of how the geometry was created; however, in your partiular case you could just use the push/pull face feature in Alibre to edit the length.

    wow thank you very much.
    is it possible to delete the imported part and just keep the extended face?
