custom KiCAD PATH variable about kicadstepupmod HOT 2 CLOSED

{$KICADLIB} or ${KICADLIB} ?
moreover you need to add to your StepUp preference page the path to your internal variable
i.e. if your footprint has this syntax:
(model ${KICADLIB}/model/mymodel.wrl
then you would need to add to your StepUp preferences i.e. at the secondary 3D folder location
the absolute path to your ${KICADLIB} folder
i.e.
myserver/mykicadlib
Please have a look at

Ah yes sorry I wrote from memory, ${VAR} it is.
ie: ${KICADLIB}/model/BGA/BGA6N50P2X3_150X150X68.step

Following your step (pointing to the var value instead of the 3d model sub-folder did the trick.
Old ALT3DMOD: /home/laurencedv/project/lib/KiCADlib/model
new and working ALT3DMOD: /home/laurencedv/project/lib/KiCADlib

And finally yes I was following the steps (haha) in the quite extensive doc you have made, Im now passed import and mech constraint checker (ho boy that would have saved me time 2 weeks ago -_- ...)

Thanks for the quick answer!
