Hello all,
First post, used Kicad for many years (from Fedora repository) but because 4.2 DRC crash tried to switch to 5.1.0.
Build Kicad from source as described in the docu’s. Works perfectly, well almost…
Kicad works, migrated the libraries, can open old projects (schematics, pcb) no problem.
BUT for some reason I can’t see any 3D models in pcbnew (ALT-3 view), I can see the pcb outline, but no models (yes all options are ticked).
If I open the footprint editor, select a footprint, go to 3D settings it will show a pcb part with the footprint but it will not show the selected 3D model (the *.wrl file is available), even if I select a step file no visual.
Can anyone help?
Is it a library problem, build problem?
