kicad StepUp, my 3D kicad board and models exporter to STEP tool,
finally has a friendly GUI

I moved all my code to FreeCAD because of their exceptional API support...

Now with kicad StepUp tools it is possible to load directly .kicad_pcb 
board and models or just load a kicad_mod footprint to fit perfectly 
your 3D model.

Here the new tutorial video:

and the new tool GUI interface:

and, as I pointed out before, the new GUI has a new VRML exporter for a 
lighter VRML file and for a fully compatibility with kicad and Blender:

Thanks to that VRML exporter now it is much easier to work on a 
bidirectional collaboration between kicad ECAD and (FreeCAD or any) MCAD

Hoping everyone interested in MCAD would appreciate that! :)

Cheers
