Change imported aluminum frame to data that can change length

Change imported aluminum frame to data that can change length

Imported aluminum frame data cannot be used to change the length.
Becase it is one-block(Brep).
Imported data is loaded as parts that cannot be edited when imported on IRONCAD.

If you want to change the length of aluminum frame data for intermediate format (such as STEP or x_t), you should fix them. 

Procedure: 

[1] Select the end face of the aluminum frame.


[2] Right-click on the green face and Click [Create Extrude].


[3] Enter any distance in the Create Extrusion dialog.

[4] Click on OK.


[5] Delete the original aluminum frame data.


[6] Select the feature of the part created by the extrusion to display the handle in the length direction.
Right-click to change the length from Edit Extrusion Distance.
