Hello,
I have a modeled keyfob STEP file and I'd like to modify before making a boolean operation with another solid base.
I managed to split the keyfob into two halfs, using a plane and part|slice apart tool. Just one half needed.
I have inserted the new half step model into an object as a basefeature, but I don't know how to:
1-Refine the edge of the flat part
2-Make a sketch to pad it about 5mm.
This is the edge refinement I'm referring to (red line):
Sorry for my english and thanks in advance.

Then click on a face in your imported Step object, then toSketch
(You can also use a Plane or DatamPlane).
To tidy up straight lines and curves you can also - select the sketch you have just created then click on toCurve icon.
See README in github for instructions.
