Is it possible to have a 3D model, relative path to custom footprint?

[maui]

@rogerclark

So basically KiCad has no way to link a 3D Model to a footprint.

as @Shack already pointed out the way is to use KISYSPROJ variable
have a look at here

3D model path relative to project

use “KIPRJMOD” as environment variable… This var is pointing to project folder path Here you can find a project fully portable with 3D models placed in a relative path folder https://sourceforge.net/projects/kicadstepup/files/prjs/HACK-master-R3.7z/download

KiCAD demo project ready to use

have a look here https://github.com/FPGAwars/icezum/ (@PCB_Wiz) that is an open source project with all kicad prj portable (folder src-kicad) 3d models are both in wrl and STEP (mainly exported with kicad StepUp for mechanical and designing purposes) [image]
