PCB is missing when exporting the STEP file

Hi, I wanted to export my kicad pcb to NX. Somehow every component is show there but not the pcb plane itself. So the components are just flying in air. Has anybody else got the problem or knows how to solve it?

Did you run DRC? Does it complain in any way regarding board outline? What does it look like in the 3d viewer? Were there any error message on export?

And of course state your kicad version

I’m using KiCAD 5.1.6 and there are no failures after running DRC. In 3D viewer, everything looks normal and as it should be. There are just some “missing” 3d files of some ic’s
That error occured after I implemented a logo on b.silks I guess. Not too sure

Same here, I am using KiCAD 5.1.6 and no failures with DRC and everything looks fine in 3D view. But the PCB is missing when exporting the step file… If only someone could be helpful on this situation.

Using 5.1.9 on Windows and exporting STEP, I get a STEP file that when opened in Freecad has the board.
Can you share your file.kicad_pcb file here or by PM?
