Importing a design is done using the import icon at the top left of the app. This gives access to your iCloud files. If you have downloaded an stl file from another site, you must notice where you save that file. When using the import icon, navigate to where you saved the file, and select it.

Select the part and then select Isolate. You can then export the design excluding hidden items.

First we should define what is up and what is down for Bogdan…  
In an ideal world he would have used “import” or “export”…  
Maybe he can clarify on that.  
Bogdan, are you exporting a single-body from a multi-body-design to a STL to print this body, or do you want to import a single-body from a multi-body-STL?  
Cheers Matt

Hello Matt, Thank you so much for asking me and trying to clear me up.  
I have a multi-body-design and all i want is to select a single part of that body and to download it.  
So far i am able to download all the parts like a single body.
