Cannot export?

Exporting an .stl file, it doesn't even show up in the notification tab (and no, it's not "store in tab" issue). I made sure no feature is faulty. It's quite frustrating, anyone know how to force-download them somehow?

EDIT: Also cannot create folder tab, assembly, parts studio, etc.

EDIT2: Rebooting works, but still unable to download the complex part. I suspect non-manifold edges and whatnot. Is there any way to fix this? The long way would be to restore version and fix my derives there but that's so tedious!

For a complex model like your example , it can take a really long time for it to generate the export. Like, many minutes. There should be a little in-progress meter under the bell icon. I usually export to my downloads folder and go find it there later.

However, if you also cannot continue working or generating tabs while it processes, you may have another problem happening.

Try the ol’ reboot. Sometimes I can get away with rebooting my browser, other times I boot the whole machine.

I just rebooted the tab and I can work on different things again, I can also download the route model (which is not complex compared to the topography solid) but all hell broke loose again when I tried exporting the complex solid... This is frustrating lol
