Description
CoryDora.step looks complete. However, the 3D view in KiCAD is broken - it doesn't show 3D models when I clone.
Looks like this is due to local references. In the footprint properties, I see 3D models referenced such as
- ${SCOTTOKEEBS_KICAD}/3dmodels/ScottoKeebs_Hotswap.3dshapes/Hotswap_MX.step
- ${SCOTTOKEEBS_KICAD}/3dmodels/ScottoKeebs_Components.3dshapes/Diode_DO-35.step
Where can I find these source files ?
Two ways to fix this:
1. Provide instructions on where to get the models and how to use them
2. Make them part of the project

Research direction
Inspect the footprint properties and project references for the ${SCOTTOKEEBS_KICAD} paths and the listed .step model locations, then clone the project and reproduce the missing 3D view in KiCAD. Done means either the models render from a documented setup or the required source files are included in the project.
