VW 2024 V3.1 Export to STEP causes crash

[Blake TD]

When I was trying to export  3 objects to the STEP file format.  The program crashes and creates a corrupt STEP file. This is new since last update to V3.1. I didn't have any issues with exporting simple 3D Vectorworks to STEP files prior to update. I've made sure there are not any stray lines or objects in the file. Has anyone else had a similar issue?

I also crash when exporting your file to STEP.

 

It is the Solid Addition on the left that is the problem. Remove it and the files does not crash.

 

I tried converting it to a Generic Solid but still got the crash.

 

I recommend you submit the file, or better yet a file with just that one part as a bug since it produces a reliable crash.

 

Since this is a Student version file, I am not certain if you can contact Technical Support or if it is only support through the Student Portal, but if you have time you might want to submit the file or the part to Support and see if they can see what is causing the crash.

 

If you find an answer, please post it back here for others to learn from.
