Hi Wayne,
regarding kicad StepUp script,
please have a look at this comment...
https://forum.kicad.info/t/kicad-stepup-new-exporter-for-3d-mcad-feedbacks-are-welcome/1048/13

I've improved the script and tested it quite heavily...
Please consider that the script does not touch any kicad file, it only 
reads the data and generates the STEP model followings the data read.

I know that now you all are focused on the stable release, so I'm not 
asking to add the script to kicad, but I'm thinking it would be nice and 
may be useful to MCAD users, to add just a mention that it is possible 
to convert kicad board in STEP through the script, as in the starter 
guide that I have done in asciidoc.

May be under http://kicad-pcb.org/help/documentation/
just after 'IDF exporter' section
and/or in the manual.

Thank you for considering that,
Maurice
