Hey there,
while it was quite comfortable to share “normal” footprints without 3D-models or with 3D models from the standard 3D lib (${KISYS3DMOD}) by just sharing the kicad_mod file(s) I don’t get the best way to do this with a custom 3D model.
I would like to have a zip-file with kicad_mod files ans the 3d modell, so the user can unpack it to his desired folder and then simply add the lib by “add library”. But in this case the 3D models cannot be found by kicad.
Isn’t there a way to reference the wrl/stp relative to the kicad_mod file?
using ./3D/model.wrl or 3D/model.wrl does not work.
Let the user copy the 3D files to ${KISYS3DMOD} doesn’t sound so good to me either.
Any other ideas / best practices ?
