I need help to reduce the length of a (Union of parts) but only the length

Forgive me for being new to On Shape and CAD, but I am. I have designed apart and have about six hours in it as learning On Shape as I go. I have joined all the parts into one "Union"

Being new and rather ignorant, I intended to split the part (I know how to do that) and print the two separate halves on my Bambu A1. My printer bed has a maximum of 256mm width. My part before being split is 525mm wide. Divide that in two pieces and…..it doesn't fit….I am 6.5mm over for each part. I want to reduce that 525mm dimension by 25mm so it fits comfortably. I over designed part so losing 25mm is okay.

My question is: How can I reduce that the whole thing by 25mm and only affect that one dimension….again, this is a union of parts. I know I could go back and redo the whole thing but having put this much time into it I would prefer not to do that. I am including the link to my part if anyone has time to look at it and give me some advice.

I would really REALLY appreciate any help.

Jeff

    Why not edit sketch 1 by double-clicking it in the feature tree, then changing 525mm to 500mm? Then click the green check and wait for it to rebuild.

    I tried that per some advice from Google AI. It did not work.

    Seems to work for me, but maybe I missed something. Link

    You will need to watch for any errors in the feature tree and fix them.
