.STL import question

I’ve searched the forum and am coming up short of an answer (or i missed it) - I’m importing an .STL file i bought for a 3d serving tray. When i view the file in a preview window (not in CC), it is fully 3-dimensional, both top and bottom would be machined. I’m trying to figure out how to import the bottom side of the tray. Top came in nicely.

You need to open the .stl in another software and flip it over and save a 2nd stl with the coordinate system pointing the other way.

That makes sense, thanks! As you can probably tell, I’m brand new to the 3-D world.
