Folder for standalone script #48

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Hi @easyw I have written a CQ script to generate the 3D models for a TO-220-7Lead_TabPin4 SMD device (aka TO-220-7-4). It is a "standalone" script to be run from the CQ workbench in FC - it does not use the main_generator.py framework.

In kicad-3d-models-in-freecad/cadquery/FCAD_script_generator/, should I create a folder just for this script or create a generic folder TO_SOT_Packages_SMD to match the .pretty folder in the KiCad library?

Thanks

Hi @hackscribble A folder named TO_SOT_Packages_SMD already exists... it is under Gullwings But for custom models like yours I would suggest to create a special folder named TO_SOT_Packages_SMD_custom where collect all special scripts for parts non common ... Then you can put the model in the same _3Dmodels subfolder TO_SOT_Packages_SMD of the common models Thx a lot for your nice work Maurice
