I have some part(s) that I need to cut somewhere in the middle & stretch in one dimension. What's the best method for doing this? Thanks in advance for any help.

It really depends on HOW you created the part sketch. Most likely, you should be able to edit the sketch and MODIFY the LENGTH of the desired part. OR, if it's an EXTRUSION, just edit the EXTRUSION DISTANCE.

Create a plane at the desired location, draw a circle bigger than the boundary of the part, then use Extrude Cut command.

For stretching a part in one direction, I suggest you to explore Scale command. Most likely Non-uniform scale can do what you're trying to achieve.

For clarity and tailored solutions, you could share some screenshots, or your part files here.

Is this a part that you modeled in Atom 3D or one that you downloaded and imported?
Can you upload either the part or a screen shot of the Atom 3D session including the design explorer so we can see what it is you have?
