I converted a batch of gerber files to a step file, but they all were put on the same layer/plane. How can I manipulate it to show them on a 3D board?

Here's a quick video (no sound) showing me import random Gerber files and assign various different thicknesses and assign the plane (z-axis),

Note:  The easiest method is to just assign the thickness for each layer and then use "Assign Z-Axis..." to automatically calculate the plane (z-axis).  You can also enter any of those (z-axis) values manually.  

Note:  You can also sort the layer order by dragging each up or down (as demonstrated in the movie tutorial).
