Hello. Onshape is a solids and surfaces modeler. Your import is a mesh and is not usable for further modeling.Two options I know of are to:Remodel the import in Onshape.Go back to your import source an see if a file format that Onshape can use is available.There are plenty of videos available online that demonstrate remodeling a mesh. - Scotty0

Yes remodelling is the best option here. I have managed to repair the original file so it is a "Part' which means you can use mixed modelling in Onshape

The STL file that you imported came in with faults with some surfaces and some parts. I used other software to repair the STL and then re-imported it1
