How can I export a selected part (STP filé) from 3D Viewer to STL in order to print ir?
I have found a useful model and managed to select only part of it using 3D Viewer, but... I can't find a way to export it !
My goal is to edit that specific section using Blender.
Thanks.
Paulo.

That's not how the 3D viewer in the model Library works.
Download the file, import it to Blender, remove the unwanted portions, then print the desired section.
The 3D viewer in the Library is a VIEWER. It does no editing to the model. You can download from the Library, but you can't edit in the Library.
Dear FredSWUG,
Thanks for your reply!
The thing is... the file.STP format is not inportable to Blender !
(https://grabcad.com/library/videoray-pro-4-1/files?folder_id=534929)
I need somehow to export it to one of the formats accepted by it...
I have already tried FreeCAD but it does not export only the parts I want, but all the model !
Is there a software accepting STP format?
(AutoCAD seems not to accept)
Thanks !
Paulo.
