Hello!!

Hi, My name is Federico and I live in Italy. I hope that you understand my poor english...
I work in a wood laboratory and I use SU many time for a graphic render of my future works.
I discover this forum only today and I hope you will help me for some little problems and, if I can, give you what I know....
In the next week I want to buy a CNC mill machine and I wish use SU for the drawing of the projects.... (if it is possible....)
That's all for the moment. Good job and a Happy New Year for everyone!!!

Ciao Federico.

Ciao Massimo. Almeno con te riesco a farmi capire....
Auguri di Buon Anno

Well at least for me your english is understandable.

Hi Frederico, hi folks.
You can use SketchUp (SU) to export in STL format. STL is used by some CNC machines.
To export to STL, you will need a plugin (free). Search the Plugin sub-forum here on SketchUcation for SU2STL.
But first, I suggest that you take a few hours to view the excellent video tutorials on SU's web site. You can access these from the Help menu directly from within SU.
Once you are familiarized with the modeling process, you can then download the SU2STL plugin and try exporting files in STL format.
Have fun and welcome to SketchUcation.

Welcome!
It's probably best if you use SketchUp's official stl importer: https://github.com/SketchUp/sketchup-stl
