KiCad StepUp Issue [SOLVED]

[waltersd]

I have a very simple project that is causing an issue when I load a pcb file into FreeCAD KiCAD Stepup. I get an error message about an issue with the 3D file for my fuse in the attached simple project. This error causes the part 3D to not be positioned correctly. In KiCAD 3D Viewer it is correct. I have to manually correct the part position in FreeCAD before I can export my Step file.

I am using FreeCAD version: 0.20.2, and KiCAD StepUp version: 10.19.4 Has anyone else seen this issue, and is there a recommended fix for it?

The jpg is a screenshot of the error message and the zip file is my very simple project that exhibits the issue.

I get the same error on Windows 10 with FreeCad 0.21 Conda build
The part scale looks 1:1, but a horrible origin offset

I’m out of my pc atm, I’ll be able to check it only next week…

I had to set an offset in the footprint editor to move the part into the correct position.

Twisted it looked more like a 3d curve … Pay attention to the offset along the axes in the properties section of the 3d model footprint

Issue resolved. I somehow had some weird scale factor numbers in the footprint editor when I added the 3D model. I reset those to 1.0, and reset the offsets appropriately, and that resolved the issue.
