All Features for All Files?

I am trying to work on a part imported as an STL file. I can use the PolyNURBS function just fine but none of the other features (Boolean, Push/Pull, Cut, etc...) will work on the imported part, just the NURBS shape I create. This is causing difficulties because I have no critical features to attach the NURBS to.

    Hello Ross,

    All Geometry features, such as Boolean, Push/Pull,  work on solid geometry. Inspire can create only PolyNURBs from STL files, which is huge advantage as you then use this PolyNURB as solid geometry.
