I am trying to create a proper 3d rendering, with all my models in KiCAD.
However, it is impossible to rotate parts.
Whatever i press - in the three rotation fields-, it will not reflect on the preview to the right.
And when i press OK, the 3d model will always be oriented in the same way.
I am using KiCAD 5.1.5+, on Ubuntu 20.04.
Make sure your 3d model is selected in the table above the preview.
You have to select the model in the selection dialogue (immediately above your screenshot).
The 2pin connector (if you are using the standard KiCad libraries) is already in the library and is already correctly rotated.
If you want to adjust your own models, I strongly suggest that you investigate the Step Up work bench in FreeCad by @maui . Whether you use FreeCad or not for your design is not important but using FC for the alignment stage will save you a lot of work.
Thank you guys. You are right!
Where are the three models by KiCAD?
I didn’t see any 3d models?
And i want basic things, besides resistors and ceramic capacitors, all i want is a barrel connector and a button like arduino.
