Feature request: Provide 3D models as STEP files #5

Closed kagehisa closed 6 months ago

kagehisa commented 6 months ago

I'm not very talented when it comes to 3d modelling, but when I do use an opensource or other free alternative to a 3d CAD tool, they almost never support the import of an .obj with the corresponding material file. It is mostly .obj only. FreeCAD is such an example. But what almost all tools support is the import of a .step file, this includes PCB tools which use the models to provide a 3d preview.

Would it be possible to provide the 3d models as STEP files in addition to the .obj files?

Hi @kagehisa, thanks for reaching out! I have just pushed them to the repository, online step file viewer shows them without problem so I hope they are ok.

Thanks a lot @allexoK ! I just tested them in FreeCAD and as a model resource in KiCAD. In both cases they just work fine. Thank you again for the quick response and upload of the ste files!
