Added 63 missing SOIC 3D model

KiCad Bot requested to merge github/fork/Misca1234/Auto_Created_3Dmodels_SO_01 into master

Created by: Misca1234

This push consist of 63 3D models for SOIC foot prints.

This push also include the script FindMissingSOIC3DModels.py that makes the comparision and creation of missing 3D models

The ordinary cq_paramters.py have been updated by a separate script and all 3D models can be recreated.

The script first find missing 3D models based on the parameter model in the foot print file. Then it exctract the size , pitch and perhaps an epad from the foot print file name. After that it extract the description and the pads from within the foot print file and finally add entries to the cq_parameter file.

It will assume some parameters such as the height and distance from pcb to body, the height is changed in 3 steps depednign of how large the body is.

I guess we have to trust the models and change those which we discover later that are wrong. Can not expect to review all 63.

  • A screenshot of the model(s) aligned with KiCad footprints is very useful
  • Was the 3D model(s) created in a mechanical modelling program?
  • Source files (or scripts) have been contributed
  • Step model submitted in 1:1 scale
  • WRL model submitted in 1:2.54 scale
  • 3D model alignment checked against KiCad footprint
