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:
