Hi Jean-Paul,
for 3D modeling and CAD interchange please have a look at kicad StepUp 
script and FreeCAD...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kicadstepup/
http://freecadweb.org/

you can get your pcb and parts in full colors and in STEP and VRML format

FreeCAD is free and heavily maintained and its support for STEP AP214 is 
highly reliable and it is based on OCE, which is used also from high-end 
MCAD products.
Heeks CAD is quite long time it is not updated and the STEP format is 
only AP203, not the latest, with colors, AP214
