3D models are not displayed

added priorityundecided statusnew labels

I can't reproduce this. @miceuz can you upload the smallest/simplest project you have which shows this?

Here it is.3D-bug.kicad_pcb.zip 3D wrl file was selected using file selection dialog in footprint selection dialog, but not shown nor in footprint properties dialog nor in board 3D view. Same for .step 3D-file

I can't see any 3D models anywhere - rendered on the board, when choosing a footprint in eeschema, when editing footprint 3D properties in pcbnew. While they are successfully exported to step file.

I am attaching a simple project, but I don't think it's project related. vacuumizer.zip

added statusneed-info label and removed statusnew label

changed milestone to %6.0.0-rc1

I can also reproduce this.

I can recreate this but only in release builds. Debug builds appear to work as expected.

Heh. Yep. I am definitely using a release build, probably most nightly users are.

I'm having this issue on a release build too (ubuntu PPA). It's not a model file path issue as far as I can see.

This isn't working for me in a debug build either. Also, it is broken no matter which of OCC/OCE I build with.

Please post your KiCad version information

As far the reports (and mine) appear Linux release problem. Also for me started 2 days ago (I update the Nightly for test almost every day that I will use it).

Looking at @charrasjp fix: possibly problem is that I run cmake with -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kicad, but @jeffyoung use default install preffix?

Oops. There was an mistype in KICAD6_3DMODEL_DIR on this computer. Sorry for disturbance, everything is working now.

Reopening, since per discussion on the mailing list it looks like we need to fix this on macOS still.

Yes, this seems to be the case:

On MacOS, it should look in ../PlugIns/3d relative to the executable file.

As a quick test to confirm the above, doing this made 3D models display again:

lijon@lijon-mbp master % mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/kicad/PlugIns
lijon@lijon-mbp master % ln -s /Users/lijon/Coding/kicad/build/master/kicad/KiCad.app/Contents/PlugIns/3d ~/Library/Application\ Support/kicad/PlugIns 
``

I have the same problem on macOS Big Sur.

I wonder if #ifdef __UNIX__ in 35e6e55b should rather be __LINUX__ instead, if __UNIX__ is also defined for Mac? Because the path fix in that commit should not be applied on Mac.

I suspect so. @charrasjp's comment certainly indicates he had only Linux in mind....

(I'm trying out a build right now.)

Works for me. Nice catch, @j_liljedahl!

I guess the patch will show up in tonight's nightly, so I will download and test it tomorrow. Thanks for the fix!

It's looking in KiCad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/plugins/3d/ but the plugins are installed to KiCad.app/Contents/PlugIns/3d/

Looks like this was changed by @craftyjon in commit e4ef531f about a month ago.
