To add to this, for parts that have both a wrl and STEP model, if the wrl model is enabled there is a checkbox in the STEP exporter to replace similarly-named files, which then uses the same-name STEP for the export. That's the easiest way to export STEP while WRL is enabled for the display.

You can manually adjust it on the scale of KiCad, or you can edit your file to make that scale You can also create a file to inline another wrl file, and then apply the desired scale, example Transform { translation 0 0 0 scale 0 0 0 children [ Inline { url "file.wrl" } ] }


    4.) There seems to be a bug with 3D VRML models from cadquery. I'm not
    yet sure if the one to blame is KiCad or cadquery, but I submitted a
    bug report that should hopefully lead to some proper diagnosis and
    finally a fix.


I comment already, I found that it is a problem with the triangle winding orientation of the model.
This should be fixed on the model side.

You can't (or shouldn't) convert it, because VRML is a non-CAD file format. Have a look at: https://forum.kicad.info/t/what-is-the-difference-between-step-and-wrl-3d-models/17346 <https://forum.kicad.info/t/what-is-the-difference-between-step-and-wrl-3d-models/17346>
