Actually all the StepUp functions do not work… Any hints/ideas what I’m doing wrong here? StepUp FCMacro is in “C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Macro”. I still have the release 0.16 installed with 0.17 unzipped to a separate folder. step fiel in this combination… I guess I might miss a configuration/setting or something. Unfortunately the StepUp export does not even produce a. After reading this thread I changed today to FreeCAD_4 with kicad_StepUp_tools_v5019. I was running FreeCAD- with kicad_StepUp_tools_v5017. This process worked perfect for my custom models but I have difficulties converting with the existing. step files after some experimenting and adding the models to kicad. What I would be willing to do is open the existing FCStd-files, run a script that fuses them and then exports them to STEP+WRL with the better export of StepUP … but for that I will have to run StepUP in an automated mode (thus the questions above) … if I don’t find a way to get it doen that way, I may hand-convert some of the models and the rest will stay as it is for now.įirst of all thanks for your great kicad StepUp tools fairly new to kicad and freecad but I was able to do some freecad models, create. For each footprint it sets the correct parameters into the Spreadsheet, recalculates the model and exports it (currently WRL+FCStd).Ĭurrently I don’t ahve time to recreate all the models as scripts (also some are fairly complex, e.g. I then load the parametrized model and run the generated Python-script. then I created Python scripts to generate the footprints, which ALSO output a Python script for each group of parametrized models. vertical round resistors, honrizontal box-shaped resistors, …) I made a parametrized 3D model in FreeCAD (I use a spreadsheet to set the parameters). The models are only let’s say “semi-scripted”.
