Damjan just merged one of my most awaited features in #KiCad

There is now a UI to make simple 3D bodies for parts that don't have a 3D-Model yet.
It can work on the Body outline or the courtyard, supports multiple materials/rendering styles and automatically add THT pins.

This will not show up in KiCad10 because it changes the file format. In about a year with KiCad11 it will be available in a stable release.

@cccpresser oooooh, that’s amazing! It’s a feature I use a lot in Altium, glad to see it in kicad, thank you!!
@janamarie please direct your thanks towards Damian. I just made this toot, not even the video is made by me.
@cccpresser super cool. as much as I like a #FreeCAD detour, sometimes I just need something *now*
