kicad 3D MCAD models in DIR .3dshapes
Author: Maurice https://launchpad.net/~easyw
Authors: will be detailed in correspondant DIR
Licence of 3D models
GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), version 3 or later
or
Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/), version 3.0 or later
Notes:
The 3D models are:
- parametric models coming from technical datasheet
- FreeCAD 1:1 model (optional)
- STEP 1:1 model
- STEP 1:1 model with with text on it (optional)
- VRML 1/2.54 model (to fit perfectly kicad 3d-viewer with scale 1,1,1)
- footprint file with right orientation, scale and 3D model associated
to the official kicad distribution
- STEP model fused in single object
most of 3D models will come from the 3D parametric lib that me and hyOzd have done,
and many other from contributors...
Contributors name will be added to 3D model file description
Thanks to @Joan_Sparky for helping me in building up the libs! :)
Anyone interested in contribute will be very welcome!
P.S.:
Only original artwork will be accepted and NO model coming from on-line libs will be included
A list of models will refer also to model's Author credits
If fonts will be present on the model, they has to be licensed free as the word
Only models with free or GPL licence can be added to the lib
HowTo:
just copy the .3Dshapes DIRECTORY in your 3D prefix folder
(e.g. in windows C:\kicad\packages3d_MCAD or in Linux/OSX ~/packages3d_MCAD )
resulting in:
windows
C:\kicad\packages3d_MCAD\Capacitors_Tantalum_SMD.3dshapes
linux/osx
~/packages3d_MCAD/Capacitors_Tantalum_SMD.3dshapes
with all *.wrl and *.step files inside
set your KISYS3DMOD var to e.g. C:\kicad\packages3d_MCAD
It is also possible to just override kicad standard 3D modules,
but consider that an update or a new installation of kicad
will overrite all MCAD models
to set KISYS3DMOD variable in windows open a command prompt in Administrator mode
and digit
SETX KISYS3DMOD C:\kicad\packages3d_MCAD
in ubuntu open a shell bash and digit
export KISYS3DMOD ~\packages3d_MCAD
to export your Kicad board with components to 3D MCAD environment
just use kicad StepUp exporter and kicad StepUp tools at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kicadstepup/
