    So If you don't map a step model the tools use the place_bound_top or _bottom shape. If these don't specify a height value the tools use the Default Symbol Height value. To modify this in the board file go to Setup - Design Parameters - Design tab and adjust this value to something reasonable, but the recommendation is to map a step mode since so many are available nowadays.
