Dark stripes/shadows on PCB

Fivefold opened this issue · 3 comments

I get some weird dark stripes on the exported/imported pcbs (see pictures below). They don't seem to be lighting-related, as they persist for different lighting conditions and even when removing all components but the PCB itself.

It could be a blender issue since I'm a total beginner in blender, but even if I start a new project and import the pcb I can see the stripes. They also always stay in the same locations.

Not sure how to even tackle this. I can send you the blender files privately if it helps to track down the issue.

Used versions:
Kicad 8.0.2
Blender 4.1.1
pcb2blender kicad plugin 2.10 (from kicad plugin manager)
pcb2blender importer 2.11.0

Probably an issue with the Boolean modifier again ...

If you are only using a single PCB, you don't have to specify it's bounds in KiCad, which should fix this.

For investigating the issue though: It'd be nice if you could share the .pcb3d file (if you want to do so privately, you can find my discord, e-mail and mastodon on my personal website).

I am using single PCBs and I haven't specified it's bounds (in case you mean with the PCB3D_<TL/BR>_ text). Due to your suggestion I tried specifying the bounds and I don't see any stripes there! So there's a workaround.

I've sent you a request on discord to send you the .pcb3d file.

This is fixed in v2.12!
