3D models under OSX

[jpsecher]

Has anybody got 3D models to show in KiCAD 5 under OSX?

I have tried several things, but lastly a clean install of KiCAD 5.0.0-1 Unified. After the install, I can see the 3D model, eg.

$  cd /Library/Application\ Support/kicad/modules/packages3d/LED_THT.3dshapes/

Library/Application Support/kicad/modules/packages3d/LED_THT.3dshapes

$  ls -l LED_D5.0mm.*

-rw-r--r--@ 1 jps  admin    23K Jul 23 16:51 LED_D5.0mm.step

-rw-r--r--@ 1 jps  admin    43K Jul 23 16:51 LED_D5.0mm.wrl

But when I try to view the model in 3D Viewer in Assign Footprints or in Pcbnew, I only see the silkscreen on the PCB. In 3D Viewer all the 3D Model Visibility options are checked off.

If I check Preferences / Manage Footprint Libraries, I can see that KISYS3DMOD is set to /Library/Application Support/kicad/modules/packages3d, which I guess it should be.

What am I missing?

Try: Edit a footprint, edit 3D shapes, can you see in the dialog the option to choose file formats extention of WRL and STEP ? If you can’t choose that file extensions then something is wrong with the installation, probably an issue from where you get the installation package. i.e: the 3D plugins are not placed or pointed to the correct path.

Also check that your footprint libs are in sync with the 3d model lib. Especially if you had version 4 installed in the past you might have some issues here: I had KiCad 4 installed previosly. Now i updated to v5. Now i have some problems with the library setup

Yes! Thank you. After I deleted all symbol libraries in Eeschema and added symbol libraries from /Library/Application\ Support/kicad/library/, and deleted all footprint libraries in Pcbnew and added footprint libraries from /Library/Application\ Support/kicad/modules/, the 3D models show up.
