Export STL file issues (Pro Subscription, not web edition)

[DaveR]

This old topic refers to SketchUp Pro. The problem that was reported by the OP in this thread has been fixed.

Very difficult to get stl out.

What exactly do you find difficult about getting .stl files out of SketchUp Shop? It works fine for me. I just downloaded the .stl file for this model…

…and uploaded it for 3D printing with no problems at all.

@Robotdox

I export to 3Ds then upload to MeshLab and export stl from that.

Interesting. You’re the second person in two days who says they are doing that. There shouldn’t be any need to involve MeshLab in the process.

Scaling issues between Sketchup and .stl format

I designed a piece that is exactly 8cm in one direction. I exported as .dae and using meshlab converted that to .stl to 3D print. In the past the Sketchup measurement was correctly converted by the time it got to my 3D printer. But with this current model I needed to increase its size by a factor of 25 to get close, but still maybe .25cm short of 8cm. What could be causing the discrepancy?
