I am having an issue with pockets and pads being lost when I convert my FreeCad file to an stl file. Everything shows up in the rendered image in FreeCad. I select all when converting the file to stl. The main pocket and the hole pocket will convert but the pads and the pockets in the sides of the box are lost. I looked through other posts related to pockets and pads but didn't see anything exactly like this.
I have attached my FreeCad file.
Thanks in advance for any help.
