Wrong package height shown using IDF Export

jatins

Hi 

I am trying to export IDF Files(Ver3.0) of my board(.brd) file out of OrCAD PCB Editor.

But i see some of the components are taking up height which is mentioned in 'Default Package Height' (set as 2000mm in my case) in IDF Out Window.

How can i change it to correct height of that component?

One thing that i don't understand here is that When i am exporting Step file of that board file, it is shown correctly.  

Is the package height for IDF Files for components related to footprint/dra file rather than Step model?

Thanks!
