Yes, under SW2011 it offers you to recreate all the functions (extrusions, spokes etc.)
But it depends on how your WWTP was created.
You can do a function recognition with the "featureworks" add-on (available from SW pro, I think)
Be careful, it only recognizes simple functions, and personally I have a lot of trouble completely redefining an imported part.
Otherwise, you have the "move face" function which can work if the modification is not too important.
Personally I have trouble understanding the question.
What do you call modifying a step? Add functions?
If this is the case, it is not a problem (to see if the step has been imported as a volume or surface)
Then modify the initial dimensions of the component that was converted to a step, indeed the only solution is to use the FeatureWorks add-in which will recreate a false creation tree.
You indicate a function:
- not available on all SW versions
- automatic only if the add-in is activated
- You give false information (the way the step is created has nothing to do with the possibility of function recognition)
With all this you don't like to receive a negative vote, nice mentality.
The version of my solidworks is 2013 standard.
So you don't have the "featureworks" add-on?
Can you post an image of the modification you want to make?
We will add the "featureworks" module so that we no longer have problems with customer files.
thank you all...

Kad,
Warning, FeatureWorks Recreate a Creation Tree... but it is not the one that will transform a surface room into a volume room (because I have the impression that your problem is more on it).
If the goal is to be able to remove material from a part imported in surface, you have to right-click on an imported function, import diagnosis and then try to repair everything in order to obtain a volume part.
