Drag and drop should work. Have the stl file on your local desktop (cloud drives seems to cause an issue), then drag and drop it onto your scene. Or, click the folder icon and choose Insert, then browser to the file on your hard drive. To export, click on the folder icon and choose Export. ---

Thanks so much! I did not imagine it would be so easy in this new version! I used SKP many years ago, was looking for those features in this one.
