I am trying to modify another parties STEP file however I am running into issues. The original is a roughly a curved V shape with 2 tubes. Unfortunately the V is too narrow and need to increase the space between the 2 tubes. My plan was to load into Fusion 360, 1) split the design is separate parts using offset planes including part of the tubing (tick), remove some tubing (tick) and move the remaining end parts apart (tick). The final step was to join the gap in the tubing with a loft command (fail). Unfortunately the tube design is somewhat organic and any attempt to rejoin the tubing with a Loft command generates errors. I initially tried selecting each face of the split tubing and lofting and that failed. I then tried creating 2 sketches on each face of the broken tubing and projecting the face of the split tube onto sketches and lofting and that didn't work either. I am a newbie at fusion 360 and hence the problem is most likely related to the user and how I am going about it. Any suggestions would be helpful.
