Hello Friends,
Within PADS 3D you have two choices:
- You may see IDF 3D(blues)boxes defined by closed polygone on layer 125 (default) and geometrie.height in "mm" as you know,
- or you may see realistics 3D models ,found on the web, in STEP format , imported and associated within footprint.
When associated and saved in librairie (footprint and 3D model) as the part type file keep "in mind" the IDF values,you may overlay the realistic 3D model with the IDF blues boxes by using the "Overlay 3D models by 2.5D" option,
This configuration is helpfull to instantanitly verify the concordance with all geometries.(and more)
Vincent.
