Thanks Ben,

but when I want to re-edit a feature, for ex a hole, of an unparametrized model, what should I do?
 
Dynamic modeling (I think it is called)

Use a cylider to plug the original hole, then create a new hole

If the hole does not change location, you could edit face->resize face.
 
alf238,

You can reposition the existing unparm hole using MOVE_REGION which feature which will allow you to reposition the feature with it's current size.

alf238,
You can try edit-->face-->deleteface
and then select the trim existing
It will remove the unparameterised hole.
Now recreate a new hole,

Thanx,

Alf238,

To point you closer, use Direct Modeling - Move Region. Select the inside of the hole as the "seed face" and the adjoining faces to the one the hole is thru (not the intersecting face) as the "boundary faces". Then, you can use either vector or point to point for the move. It's a very cool tool though somewhat limited if your model gets complex.
