pcblib_extract_3d_models

Load an existing PcbLib and extract its embedded 3D model payloads.

This example is intentionally separate from hello_pcblib. Use this when you want to inspect or recover STEP models that are embedded inside an existing PCB footprint library.

What It Shows

1. AltiumPcbLib.from_file(...)
2. AltiumPcbLib.extract_embedded_models(...)

Run

From the repository root:

uv run python examples\pcblib_extract_3d_models\pcblib_extract_3d_models.py

Output

The script writes:

examples/pcblib_extract_3d_models/output/extracted_models/
examples/pcblib_extract_3d_models/output/models.json
