when I enter the 3D Step Model to my pcb library, the model does not appear....
i have go to Place > 3D Body, i'm choice Generic Step Model, then i'm hit Ambed Step Model, and i have chose my Step File, but when i'm click OK Button, the Model isn't Appear / Show in my PCB doc/ Library.....
Can someone Help me?.....
 

Are you embedding the STEP file into a PCB or a footprint library? After embedding it, does it show up on the layer you included it on in 2D view?
 

I'm embedding the step file into both a pcb and a fooprint library. it's doesn't show up on the layer.
but,
yesterday, i'm trying (trial and error) to solve it and succeed. my fault lies in input "Standoff height" = 0 mm (3D Body Window). then i'm trying to change it to 1 mm. the result, my model show into my PCB.
 

Thanks for the feedback, this is unexpected behavior since standoff height should only influence the distance between the PCB surface and the part's bottom side.
