Step Importer 3.0 for Blender - Import Step / STP CAD Files
STEP Importer 3.0 introduces the new native StepCore pipeline for higher CAD fidelity, reliable assemblies, and faster iteration in Blender.
Highlights:

- Preserved CAD hierarchy, transforms, units, colors, materials, and repeated parts
- CAD surface normals by default for faithful mechanical shading
- Simplified and detailed mesh-quality controls
- Rebuild selected parts or the entire linked model without a complete reimport
- Quality-independent background cache for faster future rebuilds, including after reopening a Blender file
- Improved multi-material rebuild preservation, relinking, cache management, and selection tools
- Reliable Y-up/Z-up conversion and View Layer selection handling
