I have a problem with the footprint and 3d libraries, the filenames are similar, but don’t match, which requires me to manually change the footprint and 3d model for each item placed. Its like I have mixed versions of parts/footprints where one is housings and the other is packages.
Part/footprint as placed (which fails with no part shown in 3D view):
${KISYS3DMOD}/Housings_SSOP.3dshapes/QSOP-16_3.9x4.9mm_Pitch0.635mm.wrl
Working edited version:
