Changing a fillet when there's no design history

I was given a STEP file for a 3/8" thick flat part. The contour has some interior filleted corners. Because it's a STEP file, there's no design history (will F360 ever support import from SolidWorks?).

 

One of the fillets was a 0.254" radius, but it really needed to be 0.100". I couldn't immediately figure out how to make this change. I wanted to sketch an appropriate arc and extend the two tangent lines connecting it somehow, and the press/pull that arc to cut the sharper corner, but it wasn't clear to me how.

 

Does anyone have an idea how to edit a fillet in this case?

 

Thanks!

I assume you mean, "Will Fusion ever support import from SolidWorks with feature tree", because you can open a *.sldprt file in Fusion now, but without a feature tree.

 

Can you Delete the fillet and then add your own?

Simply select the fillet and hit Delete. Now select the edge and right mouse button to enter new Fillet.

 

You could also right click on the imported body and select Find Features to rebuild a feature tree.

Hi @JetForMe,

 

What @TheCADWhisperer says is correct.  However, there is an even easier way to do this - just use Press/Pull, and select the fillet face:

Okay, thanks to you both, those are excellent answers, and I feel like a fool for not even trying something like that. I just assumed it wouldn't work. Both of those answers worked well, and I only chose the press-pull because it was marginally more simple.
