how do I edit surface features without the sketch

[srinathiyengar]

Hello

I am trying to edit my mathematical model into a cylindrical one. I don't have the sketch for it. But can I just edit the surface features in solidworks.

What version? Can you please be more specific? Can you post the file?

No you cannot to my knowledge per say like the way you are describing it, but you can use the "Free Form" feature as an option. If you have some sketches to work with after the fact you can try and use Deform Feature. Otherwise you may need to start creating a series of Surfaces to get your final design, but remember Surfacing does not give you dimensions and does not make it easy for drawings to be created if that is something that is needed at the end of the model creation.
