[HOW] Making the automatic 3d model download work

[PeterKremsner]

Im currently using kibot in a docker container to automate the process for CI. The problem i have here is that locally my kicad uses some files from the standard library as .wrl which are not on the server.

So kibot tries to download the .wrl file from the server and cant find it.

Is there a way to tell kibot that if the .wrl file is not found on the server it should search for the .step file instead?

Try with the dev docker images.

KiCad 10 will remove WRL files use. This is why the current master repo of KiCad removed all the WRL files.

The current KiBot release tries to download the files from the master, which worked for years, but now doesn't. The code in dev has a cleaver mechanism, it tries to download the models for the KiCad version you are using. So it can download the WRL models for KiCad 9.x.
