Comments on: Tutorial https://eagleup.wordpress.com turn your Eagle layouts into 3D models Tue, 17 Mar 2020 09:06:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: eagleup https://eagleup.wordpress.com/tutorial-v4/#comment-9463 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 09:06:39 +0000 http://eagleup.wordpress.com/?page_id=273#comment-9463 In reply to OGYNE DACOYCOY.

You can create an Eagle part, either just a footprint, or a full device with symbol (for sch) and footprint.
Make sure the footprint name matches the skp file. Place the skp file in your models folder.
eagleUp will add the new models to your board like a regular part. You do not need to have electrical contacts, silkscreen or anything.
I recommend you add some lines to the tDoc layer (or any other layer you use for documenting) to show you where the model will end up while you are working in Eagle.

Hi. In Sketchup 2015 you can use the template “Construction – Documentation meters”.

For sketchup 14 plugin path modified to: location of the Plugins folder is C:\Users\[your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins

Thanks.

I have a small problem. I installed everything, the demo working fine, but my PCB is not visible in the sketchup
Ruby console stops at here:

eagleUp > open file C:\Users\Shri\Desktop\New folder\demo files\eagleUp\demo3d.eup
system > settings imported
system > testing units
system > 100 inch = 2.54m
system > template meters ok
system > using dot as decimal separator

Hi Jerome,

I just wanted to let you know that I think eagleUp is amazing. I was only using mayhew labs to generate the PNG file for the tracks and silkscreen 🙂

I’m working on a new design now for controlling a motor with a wireless connection and will send you the component models when they’re ready.

Thank you.

Mat

Thanks for sharing your idea. I personally think this method is slower when you take into account all the necessary steps, but if you like the color scheme you can pick the colors with any image editor and use them in eagleUp for your custom color board. Feel free to share them here.

Thought I would share an idea….

An alternative way to generate your boards PNG tracks, silkscreen etc file is to visit http://mayhewlabs.com/3dpcb and select launch 3D Gerber viewer, then drag and drop your boards Gerber files and hit enter. The web app will generate a 3D view of just your board (no components of course). You can save this as a PNG and then import it into Sketchup. I find it is a bit quicker and looks pretty detailed.

Thank you.

Mat
