Hi David,
you can copy the table with a "insert into tblcopyfact select <all the fields> from tblfact<Model>"
add your dimension with at least one record inside, full process
and replace the data with a reverse "insert into" adding in the right place of the field list, the default value for the new dimension and full reprocess the dim and after the modify model with process application to rebuild the OLAP.

Hi Roberto when you say "add your dimension with at least one record inside, full process" Where are we adding this dimension? In SSMS or BPC? I have created the dimensions in BPC but I haven't added them to the model yet. I have processed them in BPC.
So my understanding of you what you are saying....
1) Create a dimensions with atleast one record in BPC and process them in BPC
2) Create a copyFacttable so that data from facttable is copied into.
3) Use Insert Into tblcopyfact select * from tblfactmodelname
4) Add the dimensions into the model from BPC
5) Optimize the model in BPC
6) Add columns into the copyfacttable we created earlier for the inserted dimensions
7) Add a some records into the columns we created
8) Send this data into the Facttable using insert into tblfactmodelname select * from tblcopyfact
9) Reprocess the dimension in SSMS
10) Optimize the model in BPC
Let me know if I am saying this right.

David
