pair: VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language); vrml
VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exports the PCB as a 3D model (WRL file).
This is intended for rendering, unlike STEP which is intended to be
an exact mechanic model
Type: ``vrml``
Category: **PCB/3D**
Parameters:
- **comment** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; comment>` [string=''] A comment for documentation purposes. It helps to identify the output.
- **dir** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; dir>` [string='./'] Output directory for the generated files.
If it starts with `+` the rest is concatenated to the default dir.
- **name** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; name>` [string=''] Used to identify this particular output definition.
Avoid using `_` as first character. These names are reserved for KiBot.
- **options** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; options>` [dict] Options for the `vrml` output.
- Valid keys:
- **download** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; download>` [boolean=true] Downloads missing 3D models from KiCad git.
Only applies to models in KISYS3DMOD and KICAD6_3DMODEL_DIR.
They are downloaded to a temporal directory and discarded.
If you want to cache the downloaded files specify a directory using the
KIBOT_3D_MODELS environment variable.
- **no_virtual** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; no_virtual>` [boolean=false] Used to exclude 3D models for components with 'virtual' attribute.
- **output** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; output>` [string='%f-%i%I%v.%x'] Filename for the output (%i=vrml, %x=wrl). Affected by global options.
- **show_components** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; show_components>` [list(string)|string=all] [none,all] List of components to draw, can be also a string for `none` or `all`.
Unlike the `pcbdraw` output, the default is `all`.
- ``dir_models`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; dir_models>` [string='shapes3D'] Subdirectory used to store the 3D models for the components.
If you want to create a monolithic file just use '' here.
Note that the WRL file will contain relative paths to the models.
- ``dnf_filter`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; dnf_filter>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to mark components as not fitted.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
- ``highlight`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; highlight>` [list(string)=[]] List of components to highlight.
- ``highlight_on_top`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; highlight_on_top>` [boolean=false] Highlight over the component (not under).
- ``highlight_padding`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; highlight_padding>` [number=1.5] [0,1000] How much the highlight extends around the component [mm].
- ``kicad_3d_url`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; kicad_3d_url>` [string='https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-packages3D/-/raw/master/'] Base URL for the KiCad 3D models.
- ``kicad_3d_url_suffix`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; kicad_3d_url_suffix>` [string=''] Text added to the end of the download URL.
Can be used to pass variables to the GET request, i.e. ?VAR1=VAL1&VAR2=VAL2.
- ``model_units`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; model_units>` [string='millimeters'] [millimeters,meters,deciinches,inches] Units used for the VRML (1 deciinch = 0.1 inches).
- ``pre_transform`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; pre_transform>` [string|list(string)='_none'] Name of the filter to transform fields before applying other filters.
A short-cut to use for simple cases where a variant is an overkill.
- ``ref_units`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; ref_units>` [string='millimeters'] [millimeters,inches'] Units for `ref_x` and `ref_y`.
- ``ref_x`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; ref_x>` [number=0] X coordinate to use as reference when `use_pcb_center_as_ref` and `use_pcb_center_as_ref` are disabled.
- ``ref_y`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; ref_y>` [number=0] Y coordinate to use as reference when `use_pcb_center_as_ref` and `use_pcb_center_as_ref` are disabled.
- ``use_aux_axis_as_origin`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; use_aux_axis_as_origin>` [boolean=false] Use the auxiliary axis as origin for coordinates.
Has more precedence than `use_pcb_center_as_ref`.
- ``use_pcb_center_as_ref`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; use_pcb_center_as_ref>` [boolean=true] The center of the PCB will be used as reference point.
When disabled the `ref_x`, `ref_y` and `ref_units` will be used.
- ``variant`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml - options; variant>` [string=''] Board variant to apply.
- **type** :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; type>` [string=''] Type of output.
- ``category`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; category>` [string|list(string)=''] The category for this output. If not specified an internally defined category is used.
Categories looks like file system paths, i.e. **PCB/fabrication/gerber**.
The categories are currently used for `navigate_results`.
- ``disable_run_by_default`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; disable_run_by_default>` [string|boolean] Use it to disable the `run_by_default` status of other output.
Useful when this output extends another and you don't want to generate the original.
Use the boolean true value to disable the output you are extending.
- ``extends`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; extends>` [string=''] Copy the `options` section from the indicated output.
Used to inherit options from another output of the same type.
- ``groups`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; groups>` [string|list(string)=''] One or more groups to add this output. In order to catch typos
we recommend to add outputs only to existing groups. You can create an empty group if
needed.
- ``output_id`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; output_id>` [string=''] Text to use for the %I expansion content. To differentiate variations of this output.
- ``priority`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; priority>` [number=50] [0,100] Priority for this output. High priority outputs are created first.
Internally we use 10 for low priority, 90 for high priority and 50 for most outputs.
- ``run_by_default`` :index:`: <pair: output - vrml; run_by_default>` [boolean=true] When enabled this output will be created when no specific outputs are requested.
