Wayne,

thank you for your reply.

I already noticed that there is the link
  http://kicad-pcb.org/help/external-tools/

What I'm missing are the 2 images that I made with hackrf-one in kicad 
3d-viewer and in MCAD Catia.
Those images were been included in old kicad web site.

http://confluence.kicad-pcb.org/download/attachments/589828/hackrf-one-stepup-catia-assembly.png

I was thinking if you may consider to put those images also in the new 
web site, just under the video of the 3d-viewer
http://kicad-pcb.org/discover/3dviewer/
where the web page says:
 'Export a realistic rendering of your project as a picture or a MCAD 
hierarchical assembly.'

The two images show how Kicad can provide 3D data transfer from ECAD 
system to the MCAD world.

Thank you again for your attention.

Maurice
