Imported STEP file not showing

[MatrixIntcap]

I just created a footprint for a new part but when I try to use the STEP file provided by the manufacturer, nothing appears in the 3D Models Preview section, nor in the 3D Viewer.

I’m able to view the .stp file in Fusion 360 without any issue so I think the file is fine. I’m also able to view 3D models for other parts in the default KiCad libraries without issue so I think my install is fine.

Any thoughts on what could be going on here?

Hey, if possible can you share the step file. I will check in my machine once
Also can you try opening it in freecad once (if possible)

Oops! You’re right it would help if I included the step file. I’ve checked and I’m able to load it into FreeCAD fine.

I’ve attached your step file to some random other footprint and it shows as expected in KiCad’s 3D viewer for me in KiCad V5.1.10.

After that I also tried it in KiCad-nightly V5.99, but then I can not see the 3D model.

I can confirm the 5.99 problem
I reported it https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/9458

@MatrixIntcap, this should now be fixed

To make the patch work, you have to delete files in the 3d cache. This is an obscure KiCad “feature” hidden in Users-Yourname-AppData-Local-kicad-5.99-3d

Might not need to as I bumped the version today which should cache bust in theory.

I just updated to 6.0.0-rc1-29-g9238b27f63 and I can confirm everything works now. I appreciate how quickly that was fixed. Thanks for all your help!
