Are you saying that there is

First time a clicked on the the pdf, Freecad displayed it in raw format. Next, tooltip choose for the function we are speaking of is wrong.
For some reason, the tooltip is more accurate in the "Ksu tools windows" ! I love to say my computer is good at repeating stupid tasks. Answering same questions again & again is a stupid task. I suggest you create a body for all the answers. Including the most annoying of all "File exists, overwrite ?" It is yes in 99.999% ;)
This forces to modify the model to suit your need. Simply not good. Just silently Union before writing files. This function is the strict equivalent of what we found in main_generators.py & cq_model producing bodies. It just don't have the "iterate" yet. Please open the Molex 5267 3d design. It is denying the purpose of FreeCAD to try to describe this thing with script's primitives. |
No, kicad StepUp has started exactly to export a FC model to be the most compatible with kicad 3D viewer... and yes I do know it 😜 |
point2: you need the output unionned. Not the design of the user. What if the user performs the operation "Make a union of selected objects" , do the export then say yes routinely to "Save before quit" ? Screwed ! Unionned for good, bye bye bodies. point3: I'm not speaking here of the scripted generators. I'm saying they don't ask questions, do the job from 'bodies' and this function should do the same minus iteration. |
point 5: fork the code and develop your fork |
From reading different PR on 3dmodels, I noticed following things:
That being said, it is tedious to obtain the VRML and the STEP from the model displayed in the FreeCAD window.
I would like to see a single button "Create files for KiCad 3d library" handling everything.
If you look at the 3d model here KiCad/kicad-packages3D#632 it is
This drawing is fully parametric. If you want to generate the 5mm button, you enter 5 (not easy to find where).
The "Create files for KiCad 3d library" could integrate a basic loop where it iterates for a list of values. For this SW_SPST, it would be " 3.8 5.0 8.0" applied to a selected constraint.
In a single click, generates all variants , all files, superchecked, error free...
note: variant size for this SW, see the loop here ;)
