we were trying to find one Dal Mill Storage Shed, CAD file form the grabcad site.

enter image description here

If Possible i like to understand can we use the shared cad file of the grabcad site for commercial usage.

I have seen this post about the grabcad shared file licence, but I don't understand finally is it secure to use the shared files form grabcad for commercial project. if not, I like to know, How much change (percentage) on one cad files is necessary for removing the copyright of one close licence CAD file?

The Terms are pretty clear on the website: https://grabcad.com/terms

6.2. each user of the Site a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully-paid, perpetual, irrevocable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, and non-transferable license to use, reproduce, copy, modify, adapt, arrange, translate, and create derivative works of such User Submissions for such user's own benefit and non-commercial, internal use (the "Cross License")

The license you get from downloading anything from GrabCAD is strictly non-commercial. This includes derivative works - there is no threshold above which you can 'remove the copyright'.

If you wish to use a model for a commercial project, you must contact the original author directly (https://grabcad.com/home/inbox/new?to=zulfiqar.islam-1 for the image highlighted in your post) and agree this with them.
