The STEP file format supports colors per assembly, but without the alpha component, therefore any transparency setting will be lost in the final STEP file. However, if your geometry defines manifold solid it will try to create optimized faceted STEP brep representation which should reduce STEP file size by one-third. As the STEP geometry data are stored in a text form you can expect bigger file sizes when exporting triangular meshes with thousands of faces using the Autoconverter software. STEP ( STandardized Exchange of Product) is a very popular file format for the data 3D exchange between different computer systems e.g.
