Change dimension of circle in a body

[Anonymous]

I have looked for hours and can't find the answer.  I imported a STEP file and need to change the dimension of a circle in one of the bodies. Seems like it should be simple.   How is this done?

Thanks,

Step files are only limited editable.
If you share your file we can see what is possible.

its difficult to give a precise answer without any references. Generally in Fusion 360 step files can be easily modified by direct modelling method.

Use the press/pull tool.

Do not turn the timeline on.

Thanks for the responses and forgive me for  my ignorance, I'm new to Fusion 360.  I've attached the step file.  

I want to change the diameter of the largest bearing pockets.  Thanks for any help.

Yes, as @TrippyLighting mentioned, select the surface of a hole and use Press/Pull to change the diameter.

@TrippyLightingCan you please explain why to swich off the time line?

I did not say to turn int off, I suggested not turning it on 😉

For models that were created by importing a STEP file, by default the timeline is not enabled.

If edits need to be made then the first question should be  whether these changes need to be parametric. Many things can be changed without ever turning on the timeline.

Timeline models are about 3 times bigger data wise than models without a timeline.

Thank you very much for the explanation.
I suspected a deeper meaning.
By the way, I just found out that "Press Pull" isn't parametric anyway.
Important to know that!

[TrippyLighting]

Yes, it is 😉

The defaults automatic, which "automatically" choose one of 2 options:

Modify original feature )parametric)

and

New Offset, which puts a new item in the timeline.

Oh dear, I'm afraid it's about time I had a closer look at the options of all features 😉

OK, so here is the problem I'm running into.  I can use push/pull to change the size of the hole, but what I want to do is change the size of the pocket (highlighted in the picture below).  When I select the face of that pocket and push/pull to the size I want, it changes all the way through the object. 

I hope I am making it clear.

Can you share the model ?

I shared it in message # 5.  Thanks!

Look at my post 6.
There I already changed one pocket.

[Anonymous]

YES!  I get it now.  Thanks everyone so much!
