How to move a solid edge?

How to move just a solid edge?  My intuition is to select that edge and simply try to move it.

See screen shots, video demo and f3d file. https://a360.co/41pbumB

Hi @tookemtoni 
One suggestion is to use a sketch with the required profile and use the extrude option.

Hi @tookemtoni 

You can use Direct Edit here if you know the angle which you need to move the edge by. The more accurate solution would be to do what @praise.tomWX9P2 suggested and use a sketch and extrude. I have attached a video for the direct edit if you wanted to try.

If you do "that", how are you going to address the emerging triangular sliver at the bottom?

I would love to see solid modifications via edges (and points) as fast and easy as we can do with Forms (T-splines) in Fusion.  See GIF.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

It looks to me like totally incorrect techniques are being used to create the geometry.
