+is a place to find STEP AP214 3D models and VRML kicad 3D models
+under *''cadquery'' DIR*, there are some nice scripts that can generate +
+*STEP and VRML parametric models* for +
+*GullWings ICs, DIP ICS, Chip Capacitors, Chip resistors, pin-strip headers*
+
+All the STEP and VRML models can be used with kicad new stable release (August 2015)
+and are ready to be used with Kicad StepUp script +
+*kicad StepUp* is a new approach to export kicad board and modules in STEP AP214 (with colors).
+With kicad StepUp it is possible to export the 3D board and modules in STEP
+for MCAD interchange and create the 3D wrl libraries. +

+
+The parametric scripts are derived from CadQuery scripts for generating QFP, DIP and pinHeaders
+models in X3D format. +

+## requirements ## +

+**********************************************************************
+Running the scripts
+-------------------
+
+to run the script just move to the scripts dir and do: +
+freecad ./main_generator.py modelName +
+examples in win: +
++c:\freecad\bin\freecad main_generator.py 0402+ +
++c:\freecad\bin\freecad main_generator.py all+ +
+in linux: +
++freecad ./main_generator.py 0402+ +
++freecad ./main_generator.py all+ +
+or simply run the 'create_model' script/batch +
+
+
+modelName and parameters are described in: +
+1. cq_parameters.py file in their relative DIR
+all data in parameter files are collected from components data sheets +
+##the script will generate STEP and VRML parametric models##
+ready to be used with kicad StepUp script 
+
+[red]*Note:* You may get a 'No module named QtNetwork' error on Ubuntu based systems when you select the module in FreeCAD. 
+If you do, run the following command line from a terminal to fix this issue. +
++sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtnetwork+
