Exporting project.
Thought for 2s
Search docs: Export an assembled board 3D model as STL. What requirements are needed, and what to do if there is no PCB layout yet?.
Flux couldn’t generate the STL because your project currently has no PCB layout to export (
Cannot find a layout to export.).This is the most relevant entry I found related to your request (quoted verbatim):
How to Export:
- Click the Flux logo in the top-left corner
- Navigate to Export > 3D Model > STL (.stl)
- The .stl file will be downloaded
Requirements: Components must have valid 3D models for accurate representation. The board must be in 3D visualization mode.

Search docs: How do I start PCB layout after completing the schematic in Flux? How do I switch from schematic to PCB editor and begin placing components / creating layout?.
This is what the Flux documentation says about starting PCB layout after completing the schematic (quoted verbatim):
How do I start the PCB layout after completing the schematic?Click the PCB tab. Your schematic components become footprints on the board. Define the board outline and arrange components based on the ratsnest. For more information checkout this Getting started tutorial

Place components first
Set layout rules
Check footprints
