Welcome here! Please understand that communication get's really hard if your English is not enough to read some tutorials in the first place. (Somebody remembering Guy Vivan - hmm, what might happened to that guy?)

If you already have some 3D files you might convert them with STL2DAT:

taking for granted that you modelled them in LDUs and not mm or inches.

A very basic part authoring tutorial can be found at my website:

Otherwise you can scale the part, either as an afterthought or directly during conversion (1mm=2.5ldu / 1"=63.5 ldu)
