Hi Marcos,

I've built FC 015 and FC 016 in debian following all the advices from FC 
site and it seems there are still some issues in fusing objects and 
conserving colors.
I tried some workaround without positive results.

So at the moment, I consider the script to generate parametric models 
fully working in FC 015 under windows and ubuntu.
Anyway users can download colored models from the repository, or just 
build the models under a virtual box with ubuntu.

kicad StepUp script is instead fully working in windows, ubuntu and 
debian.

Thank you for your feedback.
Maurice
