As a user you should ask for more and more! :P Btw, Cirilo is working on a 3D IGES exporter (for the board?) but we were also discuss a future integration of the 3D components (Cirilo suggest to add the bounding box.. I think it is good for mechanical validation in general) What do you think on this ? VRML exporter would be good to use with POV-ray, blender, etc.. so you can make photo-realistic renderings and pretend that your product is already real and everybody can buy it on kickstarter! :O Your 3D look a bit stranger for me, is it because the jpg quality? antialiasing off?

Eg.: https://github.com/mrkindustries/openPSU IMO, pcbnew should be able to export a STEP 3D model of the board, the mechanical integration is done with freecad or solidworks and the proper way to do so is a STEP instead of the VRML format. If I want a proper analisys I have to replicate the boards in the 3D CAD by hand instead of just exporting it. You can just use the IDF exporter to get a more CAD friendly PCB. Thanks, I didn't try it, its very useful. Is there a way to include the components models or it has to be done manually? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
