cant add external 3d model to 3d pcb

In fusion 360 electronics i have a 3d pcb i also have a step file from a display manufacturer and want to build my pcb sketch around the display module.i used to be able to drag and drop any step file i uploaded into a pcb design in fusion now i cant drag step files into the 3d pcb file.how can i get my 3d step files into a 3d pcb?

unfortunately i cant add the 3d model to a footprint as the display module is in 2 pieces the module its self and a flex cable connector the display module in question has a flex cable attached to it.I've done it before no problem were i upload the display module's step file to fusion then drag and drop the model into my fusion 3d pcb design,my ribbon connector is already on the pcb with a footprint i just need the display module inside the 3d viewport so i can sketch a odd pcb outline shape around the display module.but when i drag and drop the step file nothing happens nor does fusion show i can drop the model into my design maybe they dont allow this feature anymore?

 

Attached is a recording of what iam trying to do

Hi 32Loyal,

Thank you for participating in the Fusion 360 electronics forum. It would be best to insert the 3DPCB into a Design workspace, then do the same with the STEP file in the same session.   As you discovered, inserting a STEP file in the 3DPCB is not possible, but it can be done in the Design Workspace.
