+this repository  
+[https://github.com/easyw/kicad-3d-models-in-freecad/]()  
+is a place to find STEP AP214 3D models and VRML kicad 3D models  
+under **''cadquery'' DIR**, there are some nice scripts that can generate  
+**STEP and VRML parametric models** for  
+**GullWings ICs, DIP ICS, Chip Capacitors, Chip resistors, pin-strip headers**

+All the STEP and VRML models can be used with kicad new stable release (August 2015) and are ready to be used with Kicad StepUp script  
+**kicad StepUp** is a new approach to export kicad board and modules in STEP AP214 (with colors).
+With kicad StepUp it is possible to export the 3D board and modules in STEP for MCAD interchange and create the 3D wrl libraries.

+## OverView of the parametric scripts
+this repository  
+[https://github.com/easyw/kicad-3d-models-in-freecad/]()  
+is a place to find STEP AP214 3D models and VRML kicad 3D models;  
+under *''cadquery'' DIR*, there are some nice scripts that can generate  
+*STEP and VRML parametric models* for  
+*GullWings ICs, DIP ICS, Chip Capacitors, Chip resistors, pin-strip headers* ready to go for *kicad StepUp script*
+
+The parametric scripts are derived from CadQuery scripts for generating QFP, DIP and pinHeaders
+models in X3D format.

+
+## requirements  
+CadQuery module version 0.20 or later  
+[https://github.com/jmwright/cadquery-freecad-module/archive/master.zip/]()  
+FreeCAD version 0.15 or later  
+[http://freecadweb.org/]()  
+
+
+**********************************************************************
+Running the scripts
+-------------------
+
+to run the script just move to the scripts dir and do:  
+`freecad ./make_gw_export_fc.py modelName`  
+examples in win:  
+`c:\freecad\bin\freecad make_gw_export_fc.py SOIC_8`  
+`c:\freecad\bin\freecad make_gw_export_fc.py all`  
+in linux:  
+`freecad ./make_gw_export_fc.py SOIC_8`  
+`freecad ./make_gw_export_fc.py all`
+
+modelName and parameters are described in:  
+1. cq_params_gw_soic.py file for defining SOIC mechanical data  
+2. cq_params_gw_qfp.py file for defining QFP mechanical data  
+3. cq_params_gw_ssop.py file for defining SSOP mechanical data  
+4. cq_params_gw_tssop.py file for defining TSSOP mechanical data  
+5. cq_params_gw_sot.py file for defining SOT mechanical data  
+6. cq_params_chip_cap.py file for defining chip capacitors mechanical data  
+7. cq_params_chip_res.py file for defining chip resistors mechanical data  
+all data in parameter files are collected from components data sheets  
+
+**the script will generate STEP and VRML parametric models**   
+ready to be used with kicad StepUp script
+
+**Note:** You may get a 'No module named QtNetwork' error on Ubuntu based systems when you select the module in FreeCAD.  
+If you do, run the following command line from a terminal to fix this issue.  
+`sudo apt-get install python-pyside.qtnetwork`
