I just scale the part. stl files don't store unit so it's up to the saving program e.g. blender to pick the units. Typically CAD programs save in inches or cm so if your cad program is outputting in inches then just scale up by 25.4. Alternatively somewhere in blender and sketchup settings there might be a way to indicate the units you want in the stl file. Select mm.
Or if your part is in cm you might need to scale up by 10X. It should be one of these 2 numbers (10 or 25.4) so if one of these numbers is pretty close, it's probably instead perfect.
