Hi,

When implementing the STEP file output, there were a couple of main considerations I used:

1) The 3D Model would need to go through a range of stretching based on dimensions(which is no small feat). If you overly round corners and edges, it makes the math very intense.

2) The more complex your shape, the more 'heavy' your STEP file is. I tried to keep it to a minimum on facets so as not to bog down a system.

As such, that's why it has the look that it does.

We can look into that. Could be available in the V2014 release. ]]> Mon, 31 Mar 2014 06:37:50 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/axial-resistor-step-files_topic1303_post5142.html#5142 <![CDATA[Axial Resistor STEP Files : It would be nice if there was...]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/axial-resistor-step-files_topic1303_post5140.html#5140 Author: gridlock

It would be nice if there was an option to change appearance of the axial resistor STEP files to a more "rounded" look:
