how to lengthen this 3d object

Offset Face? Are you sure that is a viable option in this instance?

Yes, it works here! any one can try!

If I was in his situation I will use extrude face, or offset face, both work the same, exetp extrude adds the option of taper extrude. The advantage of offset face is that you can use it for circular face.
For example,
You have a cylinder with outer diameter of 120 mm and you want the outer diameter to be 140 mm, choose solidedit> offset face> select outer face and enter value of 10 . The new diameter will be 140 mm.

I'd be interested in seeing how you accomplish this. Could you post 1) the finished result and 2) a screen capture of your text window with the command sequence. Thanks. I always like learning new tricks.

Check this sequence of images please

first I created a cylinder with 120mm diameter.

Type the command:
solidedit> Face> Offset --> select the face > enter offset distance > enter
