Hi
In my case, the 3D models folder are also part of my footprint
libraries structure.
The footprint folder installed by Kicad is only a place were I
grab what I need to populate my personal 3D folder.
Of course the KISYS3DMOD points to my personal 3D folder.

Hi,
I have download a PCB footprint from a vendor that includes a STEP
(.STP) file of the part. I have added the footprint to my personal
footprint library, but where can/should I put the 3D model file in
order that it not be overwritten by future KiCad installations? I
use KiCad nightly releases and I that see KiCad defines the path
KICAD6_3DMODEL_DIR, but I suspect anything I put there might get
blown away by a new install, which for me would be every day
(max.).
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
