Holes in PCB not appearing in 3D model

The holes in a board which were created in the board editor are not correctly transferred into the 3D model.  The holes are in most of the bodies e.g. copper and solder mask, but not the board itself.  This is more than an irritation as the 3D model is used in a larger F360 assembly

What layer is used for holes? Dimension or milling layer?

This is known issue. I hope guys will fix it soon, it does not look too complicated to fix.

The holes were created with the 'Hole (NPTH)' menu option.

Turning off both the layers that you mention doesn't seem to change the holes in the Board design so I guess neither.

 

This must be a new bug, as this is a modification to an old PCB design from last year and the holes were fine then.

 

Thanks.

@PW_VOX, you mentioned that this is a modification to an old PCB design from last year. This could be a data migration issue. PCB holes were not translated into modeling hole features in 3D PCB environment before. Can you try to remove the link to the 3D PCB in board editor and then push to 3D PCB again?

Fixed it, I should have thought of that!

As always, thank you for your fantastically quick response.

Isn't it a holiday for you?
