add 3d shapes #2

Open DB1ADE opened 4 years ago

DB1ADE commented 4 years ago

Hi there, I have started to design my own standalone configurable BMS for 12V Li Batteries (3S LiIon or 4S LiFePO4). You did a great job and I tried to copy some of your ideas and libs. The symbols and footprints can easily get imported. But the footprints have no 3d shape.

I started with a Würth screw terminal, but realized, the 3d model has the following path and is not included. ${KISYS3DMOD}/LibreSolar.3dshapes/Wuerth_WP-THRBU_74650195.stp

Can you make another repo with the 3d models? Are there maybe license issues with the models?

Are there maybe license issues with the models?

Exactly. Most vendor 3D models have a proprietary license and I don't want to read the terms and figure out if I'm allowed to publish them. So you will have to download the files from the vendor sides yourself, unfortunately.

@martinjaeger could we document the links for easier download?
