Not so, you simply view the solder mask layer, then use the "k" key to 
modify the mask opening. For a via with zero mask opening, it will jump 
at the first change to the actual via diameter. From there you can 
increase/decrease it by the nominal amounts.

The function that does this is ChangeClearSize() which changes the mask 
if it's being viewed and changes the polygon clearance if the mask is 
not being viewed.

I should have read the whole thread before posting my first comment.
