    Welcome to the forum and Onshape!  We use imported geometry all the time.  If your model imports without error and a solid is created, you will have no problem using the standard tools to add or change.  See the on-line tutorials for more help.

    .STL is a mesh format, and as such can't be edited like native Onshape geometry.

    Boolean Plus, by MBARTLETT, is a custom featurescript and is excellent when working with STL's which are notoriously tricky when trying to use in the CAD environment
