Exported STEP file does not have inner copper layers

Layout 3D Models

Hello,

I am able to view the internal Cu layers in 3D viewer, but when I export as step and then view in FreeCad, i don’t see the inner layers. Currently, I am swapping inner layers to front, export and then manually move it in FreeCad.

It is on track for the next version (Post-V8 New Features and Development News - #16 by dsa-t) Meanwhile you can use fcad PCB (GitHub - realthunder/fcad_pcb: FreeCAD scripts for PCB CAD/CAM) as FreeCAD plugin to do the job.

Thank you. So we can expect this to be available in kicad9?

It is already available in 8.99 so if you need it now you can just get the kicad nightly and do it with that. Just dont save your project in 8.99.

So no expecting its there might need polish, worked last time i tried.
