KiCad (last time I looked a long while ago) use a very specific sub-set of VRML exported from Wings3D for their models. Whilst that isn't as general as a full VRML importer, it might be nice to be compatible with other OSS CAD tools and their models. This would help if indeed people wanted to make converters to / from KiCad, so 3D models could be preserved. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
