Looking for a a good .stl file importer

Dear All,
What is currently considered the best .stl file importer for Sketchup?
Your advice would be appreciated.
Kind regards,

Blender.
You don't have to learn how to use it.
Just download it. Hit preferences panel / addons, activate all imports exports .
Now import the stl, do nothing in 3d view, export as 3ds.I suppose this stl is less than 64 k faces. If it's more than this, don't expect SU to support it.
(if it's more than 64 k, you could start learning blender a bit. Just select the mesh, go to object modifiers panel and ask for decimation.)There may be other excellent apps around for conversion but not for decimation as well, neither for UV mapping, rendering etc etc.

Dear Michalis,
Thanks for the advice.
I am trying out stl4su.rb at the moment from here:

Kind regards,

For decimation maybe Meshlab can make the trick and other things
