Hi Nick,
all the models are native in STEP, then exported to VRML with FreeCAD
(1/2.54 scale factor)
so the mechanical details are just the right one both in STEP and in VRML
Please find attached the screenshots with the headers corrected (I used
a low profile model)
@Vesa: I tried to get screenshots with antialiasing on...

They look great. So as I understand it theese models are dedrived from
step models in freecad and exported to VRML to be viewable in kicad?
But the female pin headers, they look a bit too low or maybe "put
down" into the PCB. Is this correct?

Hi Marcos and all,
it took me a bit but here is the hackrf-one generated with STEP models by
kicad stepup script and the hackrf-one in kicad 3d-viewer with all the
3d-models generated from the conversion of the STEP models.
I also checked the geometries of the generated board with models and there
are no problems ...
The rendering result shows that the two scenarios are exactly the same, and
I didn't get any problem in rendering all the vrml models in kicad.
generating the 3D modes in FreeCAD will produce a vrml 3D models with no
shading issues and with mechanical respect of all the dimensions
It would be nice if some of these screenshots could be in the official web
page...
please let me know what you think
Maurice
(ps second try in sending the screenshots)

Hi Maurice,
here is the HackRF board with 3D models
http://www.mrkindustries.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/hackrf-one.zip
Most of the footprits are from Walter (smisioto), and located
in /usr/share/kicad/modules/packages3d/walter/
Ping me if there is something missing, I didn't try to open the project in
a different PC.
Have fun, I'm keen to see the result

Oh, I understand.
My modified copy of HackRF has more 3D models specified, I'll upload the
project somewhere when I get home

I would like to test kicad stepup script for the hackrf board, so I just
would need the modified file... no 3d models

Hi Marcos,
I use to get the Walter's models too
the .brd file that I can download from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hackrf/files/?source=navbar
has only some sot23.wrl file associated to pcb footprints...
so what I'm asking you is, if possible, to receive the hackrf-one.brd
or
hackrf-one.kicad_pcb file with the 3d models associated to
footprints...
thank you

Hi Maurice,
What do you mean by 3d models name?
I use Walter's models from smisioto.org

Hi Marco,
it would be possible to get the HackRF kicad pcb file updated with
the 3d
models names?
Thank you

Hi,
see attached some screenshots of 3D Viewer showing the HackRF board,
it
could replace this one in kicad-pcb.org
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+EDA+Software+Suite?preview=/589828/1376287/kicad_3dviewer.png
Who should I ask to upload it?
The other screenshots could be updated too, they look ancient.
Regards

I would also be nice if we had an announcement about the new
stable
release with a list of new features such as 64 layers, openGL
rendering,
P&S routing, etc.

Yes, it would be nice to have the website updated.
Kicad could have a lot of media coverage given the vast
improvements
over the last release and we will need (besides bugfixing) some
appealing screenshots and videos.
If I can I'll prepare screenshots from hackrf, ubertooth, etc for
you
guys to review.
Best regards
