Hi I'm a newbie to Openscad and Download OpenSCAD - and converting .scad
files to .stl for 3D printing.

I downloaded Openscad but when I unzip it and choose the .exe file a green
Open button appears but pressing it does nothing.

Thanks for your help.

Downloaded here...

http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html - and open the file.

I never reach this point...

Then under File > Export > Export as STL

That is strange.  You are actually pulling it out of the .zip file right?
Sometimes with windows you can double click on a zip file and it will open
it in a file browser.  But the files are actually not unzipped yet.  You
have to copy them to a different location, or choose to extract-all.

Maybe post a screen shot?  It works for me.
