Hi
i got an wrl file with the Arduino Due shield
I only wanted the pin headers and not the whole board
I tried to load it in to freecad to delete the parts that i dont want but that did not work
Are there other free programs that a dummie like me can use to make simple edits with
It will be hard to get single parts elements from a WRL file and I dont know any software that will easily list it for you.
Why not just get pin headers files isolated from other sources and place it manually?
i wanted to try and edit first and maybe learn a new tool
i can always place headers manual but i would not learn much from that 
KiCad allows multiple 3d models to be attached to one footprint, which is how I did that. If you edit the shield footprint, you can simply remove the wrl file for the Arduino model, which was called something like ArduinoMega_k.wrl.
yeah i think that will be how i end up doing it… just thought that it would be a shame to start from scratch if i could avoid it in an easy way
