Re: [Kicad-developers] What is the purpose of multiple 3D models?

Jeff, do you mean transistor+heatsink or .wrl & .step? For transistor+heatsink I just add both models to the 3D shape names list. For .wrl and .step the models must be checked individually, because if both models are in the list, they get overlapped and I don't know which one is being

Re: [Kicad-developers] What is the purpose of multiple 3D models?

Jeff, From a user point of view, sometimes I add 2 different models to the same footprint: a power transistor and its heatsink, a male pinheader and its female matching connector. Just to check they won't "crash" with other components when connected. And I also keep the .wrl and .step models

Re: [Kicad-developers] What is the purpose of multiple 3D models?

@Pedro, how do you check the two different models? (Currently there’s a bug where the preview chooses what model to render irrespective of which is selected in the models list. I’ve fixed that bug in 6.0, but it was one of the things that made me think perhaps I didn’t understand how this

No I won't have time to. There is still the issue of Eagle rectangles with a rotation applied not being imported correctly too. On Sat, 31 Mar 2018 14:03 Seth Hillbrand, wrote: > Hi Russell- > > Will you have time to update this patch? If not, I'm happy to revise it

I use this feature for components that may have multiple bodies, like a battery inside a battery holder, or the mating board into a connector. It is great for making rudimentary assemblies as kicad cant place any bodies that are not associated with a component. On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 5:02 PM,
