gEDA-bug: [Bug 698827] Re: When PCB layout is ready, to show the PCB as 3D model

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd pick something which you can use. What is important to your designs?

I'm not certain BRL-CAD will be something we support at any time soon,
and from what I've heard, it has rather a steep learning curve. I was
wondering if we could model in something like Blender, or perhaps
Wings3D (which KiCad uses).

Title:
  When PCB layout is ready, to show the PCB as 3D model

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New
Status in PCB: Printed Circuit Board CAD package:
  New

Bug description:
  In xgsch2pcb I wish to have an option to show the PCB in 3D model when
  it is accomplished in pcb tool.

  I think that there is a possibility to write a script that should to
  make an output file for the BRL-CAD free modelling system.

  From xgsch2pcb one would to have a possibility to run that script and
  that script make an output file and on that file should to run mged
  (BRL-CAD).

  The BRL-CAD should then show the PCB as 3D modell.

  This is only my idea, but what do you think about it?
