As I was saying in the other thread, I am in favor of committing the STEP models into our repositories. I suggest in the process we separate them from the kicad-library repo. I mean having a repository only for 3D models instead of being part of kicad-library. We could set the 3D repo as a submodule to the kicad-library to ease transition. This would make sense, as the STEP models are over 4 times bigger than the VRML ones. Then, we could get the right people onboard a new team, the 3D team, to fill this new repository.
