LED_SMD.3dshapes/LED_0603_1608Metric double as high as it should about kicad-packages3d HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm... Googling around I see mostly thinner LEDs, but there are some that are actually 1.10mm:

This is maybe turning into a support issue: How can I get another height for importing the PCB layout into FreeCAD using KiCadStepUp? The latter refuses any scaling factor (i.e. 0.5 on the Z axis).

The footprint name doesn't include the height, so therefore you shouldn't expect it to match any particular part. I expect these are scripted, probably with CadQuery. Searching through the scripts and/or merged PRs you may (possibly...) find answers on why the model is this height.

As for the other questions I do not know.

Edit: The models were added at #280 and you can also find the script linked to that PR.

I did look at the commit where it was introduced but it was a huge commit with many models and no individual details. Edit: Thanks for the merge request link. There were questions in the commit message and much more information in the merge request, the commit message should have been massaged before they merged it IMO.

I managed to make a new, scaled-down model in FreeCAD using the Draft tool: Clone, set Z scale 0.5 and export the clone.

Edit: Thanks, so I see that I can also use the linked script, change the height in the cq_parameters.py file and regenerate STEP/VRML files.
