Blender also lets you import STL files and edit them. Also free.

Hello.
You will need to install a SketchUp plugin that let you import .STL files.
You can find it here:

While you are at it, you can install the G. SketchUp plugin that let you save models as .STL Files

In some cases the STL file you import may be oversized by alot, so you would need to scale it down (or use ReplicatG to scale it down\up).

Hope this post is helpfull for you.

Lets say that I have an STL, and want to make a change to it. I can't find a way to open it with SketchUp, and it may not even be possible.

Any recommendations for software that I can use to edit current STLs?

Thanks!
