When I import a 3D STEP file into FAB 3000, all I see is a rectangle. What happened?

Most likely during STEP Import options, you'll simply need to change the value for the option "Extracted Plane".


Extracted Plane: Choose which plane will be used to slice and extract the 3D Step design. Default is X-Y Plane.
X-Y Plane (Default)Extracted plane will be parallel to X-Y plane.  Z coordinate will vary.
X-ZExtracted plane will be parallel to X-Z plane.  Y coordinate will vary.
Y-ZExtracted plane will be parallel to Y-Z plane.  X coordinate will vary.

Note:  The same applies to users who are importing an STL file, and only get a rectangle.
