Dear all,

I would like to change the measures of the box without starting from the beginning again so to speak make the box less „deep“.  
Is there a way I can do this? When I just change the extrude it cuts the bottom of the box

Many thanks in advance!!!

Here I have a wall thickness of .6mm. I want to shorten the depth by 2mm and maintaining the .6mm wall thickness.
