Hi folks, I've gone over the changes in the 3d_initial_merge branch and it looks like it's ready for people to inspect the code and merge with the main branch.
At the moment the legacy 3DViewer is left intact but the Footprint Properties dialogs in pcbnew and the Footprint Editor have an improved GUI which includes a special widget on the 3D File Browser to configure the 3D search paths and of course the model preview in the Footprint Properties dialog. So far only an IDF Component Outline plugin has been implemented (I'm not counting the plugins developed for demo/tutorials) but I'd like the code to get into the main branch as soon as practical so people can test it more and help find any remaining bugs. A merge would also give the 2x 3D branches (Mario's and mine) a more solid foundation in the main branch and help prevent a fork-like situation where it becomes very difficult to stage a merge. Even this relatively small initial merge has taken a few weeks of my spare time to prepare and I've already encountered some instances of code divergence which have broken the build. https://code.launchpad.net/~cirilo-bernardo/kicad/3d_initial_merge Added approx. 17k sloc - Cirilo
