Re: Imported STL Files
For simple stock shapes, you're probably better off making a new part, sketching the profile, and extruding to length.
If you really need to cut an imported part, first you'll want to save a copy just in case you need to revert to the original or use the original somewhere else. Then you need to make a 2D sketch on the face for the cut, draw the appropriate profile, then "Extrude -> Cut" the part. Make sure you "Extrude -> Cut" rather than the default "Extrude -> Join". Double check your extents and selected profile. Once you have what you want, accept the preview and your part is modified.
