My Hard drive packed it in. Got a new Drive and installed sketchup make 2017, but can’t remember how or what to download from the extension warehouse to get “export as .stl” to show up in the pull down file menu.

Install the .stl exporter from the Extension Warehouse.

The simple one made by the sketchup team, not one of the fancy ones.  
You edit too fast Dave.
