Using Cura 4.0.0 on Windows 10 64-bit

I'm a rank newbie.

When I'm slicing my models using Cura, it doesn't seem to generate any top or bottom skin layers.

I'm left with inner wall at the top and bottom.

Shell thicknesses seem to work fine.

I've attached a sample .stl file.

Slicing with any of the default profiles (fine, draft, etc) reproduces this.

I'm not sure what to try next.

Any suggestions please?

Decided there is really nothing wrong. I just misunderstood the display.

    Here's an image of the final top layer.

    Also, based on some other questions in the forum where the target printer was non UM, I tried targeting an UM S5 and got the same result.

    FWIW, this is targeting a Creality Ender-3.

     

    So, in this image, I would expect to see a red layer atop the main cylinder, as well as across the rectangular tab.

    But both parts are left as raw wall or infill.

    Better description of what I expect to see in this image.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
