I want to use a 3D printing service that the local UPS store provides, and the only file format they seem to support is STL. That file format isn’t listed under the Export… menu. Is there a way to do this? Bob Anderson P.S. I’m a rank amateur at this; this is my first attempt at any 3D modeling/printing. ---

Try this extension from the Extension Warehouse: [SketchUp STL by SketchUp Team](http://extensions.sketchup.com/en/content/sketchup-stl) -Gully ---

That solved my problem, thanks. I needed to follow other forum advice, and download it from the “extension warehouse” icon at the upper left bar on the SketchUp window. It worked. Thanks again.
