Default Help needed

So what I'm thinking is, the best place to start is to double check the digital buck dimensions against the real car and make any modifications necessary.

But already my lack of 3D Cad has me at a standstill. The files supplied to me are a .igs and a .3DM and Fusion 360 works with .STL files I believe. Fusion will open an .igs file and all the stations of the buck are selectable with the mouse and are individual sketches but are not editable. So being that I want to edit the buck, I export the file as a .stl file. What I discovered and I'm sure is common knowledge to anyone but me (a total novice) is that a .stl file makes all the stations of the buck one solid mesh model made of triangles.

If anyone is willing to give me some guidance I'd more than happy to share the buck design and my findings. I know there is power in the minds of many at I'm out of my depth here.

Thanks

Dan
