Anyone succesfully using Sketchup to create/export 3D shapes?

Layout 3D Models

you are not an expert :stuck_out_tongue:
StepUp can be used to:

  1. export KiCad PCB and parts to a 3D mechanical model as STEP or as a FreeCAD file
  2. import directly a KiCad pcb and parts in FreeCAD to create a 3D mechanical model
  3. import directly a KiCad footprint in FreeCAD to check 3D model fit and footprint drills, measure
  4. create/edit a KiCad pcb Edge using FreeCAD sketcher and pushing it back to KiCad pcb
  5. convert the STEP 3D model of parts, board, enclosure to VRML with Materials properties for the best use in kicad
  6. check interference and collisions for enclosure and footprint design

StepUp are a set of Tools to Collaborate between ECAD and MCAD
please have a look at StepUp cheatsheet
