Is it something that might be worth considering an external open source library for? A very quick google reveals a few options: http://assimp.sourceforge.net/main_features.html http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
I imagine that the number of 'desired' file formats would quickly expand out of control for what the KiCad development team would have the time for. If there was a library that would just dump out the raw info (like polygons and vertex shading/specular etc) that would make things easier right?

I don't know if it is because they don't know which format "to use" or that they genuinely mean it is better than VRML2. Me, myself, I don't really know the real difference. 2016-01-03 3:46 GMT+01:00 Cirilo Bernardo <[email protected]>: > I have finished the VRML2 3D plugin and the (new) 3D Properties > > dialogs now show a preview of VRML2 models.
