When you add a 3d model for a footprint If the model file is inside the KISYS3DMOD directory then it is automatically made relative path If the model file is outside the KISYS3DMOD directory then you get a dialog as to whether it should be relative or not,
If the model file is not in the KISYS3DMOD directory it seems like a bad idea to make the model have a relative path because if you move either the KISYS3DMOD directory or the model it requires changing the path, whereas if its absolute then you only need to update the path if you move the model file. I have created a branch with a patch to remove the dialog and if theres consensus then i will submit a merge request with it. (the branch is lp:~xzcvczx/kicad/relpath-dialog)
