EAGLE - Now in 3D
Whilst working on my own EAGLE Tutorial I decided to try out the 3D modelling.
I followed the instructions on EAGLE UP! as per http://eagleup.wordpress.com/installation-and-setup/
and the installation paths to suit EAGLE 6v3 and updated prerequisite software.
I also downloaded and installed the additional 3D models.
I modified my simple project to use components that had supported 3D models, re-autorouted the board and followed the described procedures.
What I ended up was this (Top side and Solder Side).
I'm impressed! Even more so considering I have never used Sketchup before.
To produce these 3D images I had to change the case of the corresponding .skp filename to exactly match the package description for the component.
