Hi Maurice,
I'm not that Marco and I'm not involved in documentation, but this week I
tested your script and its really nice. It is key to have a repository of
wrl+step models, it was a bit painful to get the step models for an old
project but once the setup is ready the workflow is good.
I'd suggest to include in the tutorial the creation of a simple part in
freecad, it took me a while to realize that it doesn't handle well multiple
part objects, and I still can't fuse parts while preserving the colors.
I made a DCDC converter step model, a buzzer and downloaded a SO16 step.
I'm not sure where to get open source models so we can add them to your
repo. Freecad has some models, for example
/free-cad-code/src/Mod/Idf/lib/0805_SMD.stp they could be bettery though.
Thanks a lot for this work.
Marcos

Maurice,
I think Marco is currently on vacation. The new documentation format is
asciidoc. You can use git to clone the current documentation at
https://github.com/ciampix/kicad-doc. Information on how to use
asciidoc can be found at http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/

@Marco
what could I do to prepare a small tutorial for the kicad stepup script?
do you accept libre-office file or pdf file?
I'm sorry but I'm new to the doc side :)
thank you
Maurice

Excellent!
Do you (all) think should be nice to have a small step tutorial /
explanation how can someone reproduce identical results for another
boards?
Yes. Any help we can provide our users is a good thing. Something like
this should be added to the user documentation either as part of the
Pcbnew manual or as a stand alone tutorial. I don't have a preference
one way or another so I'll leave that decision to our documentation
experts.

Hi Marcos and all,
it took me a bit but here is the hackrf-one generated with STEP models
by kicad stepup script and the hackrf-one in kicad 3d-viewer with all
the 3d-models generated from the conversion of the STEP models.
I also checked the geometries of the generated board with models and
there are no problems ...
The rendering result shows that the two scenarios are exactly the same,
and I didn't get any problem in rendering all the vrml models in kicad.
generating the 3D modes in FreeCAD will produce a vrml 3D models with
no
shading issues and with mechanical respect of all the dimensions
It would be nice if some of these screenshots could be in the official
web page...
please let me know what you think
