Can not find custom 3d model path in FreeCAD

[bookshiyi]

Hello, System: Manjaro latest version KiCad : 6.0.4 FreeCAD: 0.19 kicadStepUpMod: latest version

When I load pcb from KiCad to FreeCAD, I received some error message about kicadstepupmod can not find 3d model which in my user path(not KiCad system path).

 missing module(s)
... searching path:
/usr/share/kicad/3dmodels/
/home/USER/repos/kicad_library/3dmodel/
... missing module(s) '.step' or '.stp' or .iges' or '.igs'
"${KICAD6_USER_3DMODEL_DIR}/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step" (.stp or .step)
"${KICAD6_USER_3DMODEL_DIR}/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.wrl" (.stp or .step)

. . . missing 10 model(s)

I have configured KICAD6_USER_3DMODEL_DIR both in KiCad and FreeCAD， like this:

In KiCad

In FreeCAD

Thanks.

@bookshiyi from your log it seems there is something strange in the secondary 3D folder location:

/home/`USER`/repos/kicad_library/3dmodel/

it seems there is a backtick character before U and before / in your secondary location string...

Sorry, I just want to mask the username. In the actual log from kSU, it is indeed displayed the path I filled in FreeCAD settings.

but do you have i.e. ths model in your system?

/home/USER/repos/kicad_library/3dmodel/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step ? Which is your USER correspondent in your case?

${KICAD6_USER_3DMODEL_DIR}/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step

Hi,

I indeed have the 3d model TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step in the path /home/USER/repos/kicad_library/3dmodel/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step.

I can find it both path /home/USER/repos/kicad_library/3dmodel/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step and ${KICAD6_USER_3DMODEL_DIR}/TF-SMD_L14.8-W14.5-H1.9-P1.1.step in KiCad.

My custom 3d model only not work with kicadStepUp in FreeCAD.

Thanks. BR

@bookshiyi would you mind to attach a minimal kicad_pcb sample file (zipped) with a failing 3d loading file?
