Hi Cerem you may would like to have a look in the KiCad StepUp script (for FreeCad) developed by Maurice:

Hi, We are designing our prototypes first in a 3D design software, like Sketchup. This is mandatory since we have to know there is a conflict with our circuit (connectors, IC's, etc) and the physical environment. We thought that if we have an option to import footprints' 3D models into SketchUp, we may use them while designing our products, like in the attachment. So we don't have to find them from web or draw them manually. After we satisfy with the 3D design, we have to draw exactly same pcb as in the 3D design in PcbNew. Is there a way to achieve these automatically? 1. Import 3D models of footprints from Kicad to Sketchup 2. Export edge cuts and these imported connectors' placements from Sketchup to PcbNew Thanks. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
