The exported wrl file is matched in KiCADStepUp but not matched in KiCAD Footprint Editor

[xzf16]

Hi,

I have dealed with a step file which is sent from another one to me using KiCADStepUp and A2plus plugin in FreeCAD to let 3D file match the footprint. The assemble is very well in FreeCAD(KiCADStepUp), it is shown like this inf FreeCAD:

But when I import the wrl file into KiCAD footprint editor, it’s shown like this:

The 3D model is much larger then footprint.

Because I use KiCADStepUp and A2plus plugin of FreeCAD to deal with the 3D model and then export it to wrl file, so I don’t know which step cause this issue.
Here is the footprint file:

hi @xzf16

1. you have missed to attach the stp file (or a source where to download it)
2. your wrl file is in scale 1:1… kicad pcbnew needs a scale 1:0.397
3. you are missing some tools in StepUp to export your models in wrl already with the right scale factor
4. as in your previous post, to align correctly your model to your footprint, it is recommended to have offset, scale and rotation to zero in your fp file

    (offset (xyz 0 0 0))
    (scale (xyz 1 1 1))
    (rotate (xyz 0 0 0))

please have a look at here and to stepup cheatsheets ap pg4:

kicad StepUp tool: 3D Step and VRML File Alignment to footprint

Hi Maui,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the stp file:

I used KiCADStepUp export tool to export it, the size is matched.

The thing I was confuse is: if I load the step file directly in KiCAD footprint editor, the size is matched, but when I load it to FreeCAD and use FreeCAD default export tool, the size will not be matched.

please find attached a board with the footprint reviewed and with the two 3d models (wrl & step) aligned to the right position
I used FC, Manipultor WB and StepUp WB (exporting the 3d model with the ksu internal button)
