Try: Move Faces.

When I type command MOVE I don't see a faces option

 

Hey try extrude faces or move faces under MODIFY> solid editing :)

Didn't see extrude faces or move faces in the modify panel

 

You may simply be able to stretch it with a grip after using SubObject Selection (CTRL+Click)

 

This worked for me

You might benefit from pausing for a moment and familiarizing yourself with the Ribbon, Tabs and Panels in 2010.

 

The Move Faces command is found on the Home Tab > Solids Editing panel on the drop-down menu opposite the icon for the Slice command. It is not found on the Modify panel nor is it an option when using AutoCAD's regular Move command.

Also try this keyboard shortcut

type: solidedit > choose "Face" > choose "Offset Face" and select the face in the right and enter the offset distance, you can also choose "Extrude Face", but offset face works as well with curved faces.

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
