Importing new 3d Models

<< < (4/4)

reagle:
re Wings3D. Has anybody found a way to convert more than one file without closing and opening the program? I can't seem to find "close file" option once I exported the first one ;)

Vasi:
Don't know if someone said it before... a friend of mine pointed me to KiCAD 3D components which can be copied into DipTrace folder. Some of the 3D objects can be used directly, and others after some adjustments, as scaling, translating (operations made inside DipTrace when you assign a 3D object to a component), etc...
Some of the KiCAD objects are prettier than those on DipTrace.

Maybe the guys from DipTrace can rework some components starting from KiCAD ones...

Here is a 3D board with3D objects borrowed from KiCAD (that board contains also some footprints imported from Eagle).

Hi guys, please help a fellow 3d modeling noob  ;D
How do you import models and keep their color? What formats do you use? If I use .stl like in the video from the first post, model turns grey.

that depends on how you export it and from what application and from what file format and to what file format.

dino:
Forgot to mention, I would like to use models from www.3dcontentcentral.com, just like the video from the first post on this topic.
Has anyone succesfully imported their models into Diptrace? with wings3d, with a converter, doesn't matter, I just don't want to muck around with texturing, coloring etc., since this is way over my head
