    Good morning all,
    I have an STL file that represents a 3D surface (without thickness). It is a mesh based on triangles (Over 600,000).
    This surface should have a flat base of a certain thickness with opaque faces on the sides in order to present the appearance of a solid object without hole.
    I want to be able to use this surface in SketchUp 2019 software to apply a wood texture.
    Please tell me the different operations to be performed to achieve this result.
    Regards,
    Marc
    See file in attach.

        I use Ultimate Unwrap 3D to open them and export them to SU. I use it for UV unwrapping and this part is a plus for me, also you could use Blender to open ti and export it to obj.
