I started using easyeda2kicad with custom parts path. I think i have added all other paths correctly and when i open Footprint i can clearly select the wrl but it’s simply not showing the 3D of a part.
Any help?
Thnx
p.s. it’s 7.0.9 on Debian, so far, haven’t touched any additional settings.
Have you check if that file really exists in your file system? Many footprints come with pre-populated paths for the 3d file, but the file doesn’t exists yet, until the user places its 3d model file in the correct location, with the correct name.
Yes it does exist, and i checked the file, it does have the model. It’s the case with all other parts too.
I have tried selecting other files, downloading manually models etc.
I do not use easyeda2kicad, but my path window look like this, as you can see the variable at the beginning of the name, gets substituted automatically for the current project path, I have other variables defined for my setup.
could you share yours ?
I figured that out, it was not clear at first but unfortunately , it didn’t help 
What’s confusing is that it doesn’t work even if i choose wrl manually
I did that just now, but my path looks different to yours:
I used the “folder” icon, to select the file directly from my disk, even using a file from the desktop (where you can see the full path) and not only from my library (where you can see the variable substitution).
Depends on your variable “EASYEDA2KICAD”, but I assume it is correct, another thing I am seeing in your screenshot is the “offset”, set them to 0 or zoom out, it may be that the footprint is far away offscreen .
Have you try the offset thing ? Are you willing to share the .wrl file to test it ?
p.s. Are those two files not working ?
Yes, tried offset, nothing changed.
Yes, at the moment, i can’t see any part’s 3D model.
Not even Kicad supplied?
Not even kicad supplied.
When in doubt, update your graphics drivers? Seriously, this seems solve problems that seem unrelated to a non developer like me. 
Well, it’s already latest, other 3D programs work fine, i would rather try to checkout kicad logs about that, but i doubt.
Though, i’m wondering if installation with snap could have something to do with this.
Probably does. Snaps can access only those directories of the host filesystem that they are allowed to. Are there not any instructions for configuring the snap so that it can access the 3D model libraries?
The strangest thing is that it does complain if the file on the path doesn’t exist but it doesn’t show the model once i choose it.
The PCB is shown but not the parts.
on Linux w/ Snap or Flatpak you may need to use ‘mount bind’ to have access to KiCad 3D models path.
You could try not to use native dialogs on Snap or Flat KiCAD environment…
I just saw some post mentioning the same, how to do this?
I just added removable-media to kicad in snap
$ snap connections kicad

Well, the solution was to add stable-backports and install kicad 7.0.10
I have not nerves to alwasy remember and fix snap installs, it’s the same issue for some other kicad plugins.
