stl file export not including all the components

hello all,

I am exporting all the components selected as an STL file

after the components are arranged on flat surface for the NC routing process from "manufacture" screen.

Although I select all the components and export it as an STL file,
when opening the exported stl file on fusion 360 again several components are missing in the exported file.

I have confirmed those parts are not "body" instead saved as components.

What could be a reason for this happening?

If this issue is already mentioned in the past, really appreciate if sharing the link with me.

Thank you in advance;)

Please attach your model so the Forum users can take a look.  Hard to tell anything without seeing the model involved.  If you do not know how to attach your Fusion 360 model follow these easy steps. Open the model in Fusion 360, select the File menu, then Export and save as a F3D or F3Z file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a forum post to attach it.

Screen captures will not help answer your question, a model exhibiting the problem will.  Good luck solving your issue.

To export the whole model, make sure you're exporting from the top level of the part tree and make sure everything you want to export is visible. Other than that, not sure what else could be wrong.

Thank you for your response.

I had been only able to export everything when selecting everything needed and right clicking to export.
but this method limits the variety of file types and I was wondering what was wrong.

Also I realised the way I succeeded as mentioned above was processed locally.

now I tired again by clicking file on the left top of window, it was processed on cloud and worked perfect for the first time.

 

hope it wouldn’t fail again but I appreciate your response!
