Importing an Onshape Part Studio (PCB, lid, back enclosure) skipped 12 of 26 features because two custom reference planes have no importer, so every dependent sketch, extrude, chamfer, and Boolean dropped out. No part matched Onshape on volume and bounds (PCB 3.5% off, lid 3.1%, back part missing).
