You can grip edit the endpoint of an alignment which effectively lengthens it, but otherwise there is no length property that can be changed.   Civil3D will automatically adjust the segments to maintain tangency to the end point.  If there are other ways hopefully someone will chime in on the method(s).

You can also change the starting value of the chainage if you need to (while keeping the same absolute length)

Hi Terry and Kamal,

 

It looks like something is going on, the alignment does not generate grips. I will talk to you later on

Is it a data reference alignment? You won't have grips when it's a DREF. You'll need to edit the alignment in the source drawing.
