Hi all, just a bit of a tip.
TinkerCad (http://www.tinkercad.com) is a relativity easy to use online free 3d solid modelling thingee, you can download your designs in VRML (wrl) files, but DipTrace when it loads them loses all the colour information
Using a program called Happy3D (which the author previously posted links to on this forum) you can load the wrl file saved from TinkerCad, and then simply save it again over itself, the newly saved file opens in DipTrace perfectly.
The links to Happy3d on the forum died a long time ago, but with some googling I found somebody who has it in Dropbox for download...
Here it is: Dropbox Link to Happy3d - the password is 709394, and here is a zip file version of it without password
They also have the large 3d models pack that the same author of Happy3d had: Dropbox Link to Models
The interface is a bit weird, quick demo to show you where to click...
