I am trying to generate a 3D model for a SOT65P210X110-6M. The 3D model is generated but the 3 leads on the right side of the package are malformed. I am using Libraries Expert Pro version: 2016.06

Can you send us the FPX file for the SOT23 part? We think there is a wrong component dimension or we need to thin the lead frame thickness out.

Please discuss this issue with our 3D STEP programmer, Chris Arnold. I downloaded your FPX file that you posted and imported it into Altium -  Here is what it looks like in Library Expert V2016.07 -  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

| I've run your STEP file through 3 other viewers (SolidWorks, Altium, and FreeCAD) and all show a perfect part. As such, I believe this is a bug in your viewer. Exactly which one are you using? |

| This is within the Mentor Graphics VX1.1 Cell editor and 3D PCB Layout tools |

I don't seem to have the 3D PCB functionality license on my Expedition. I would put in a support ticket with Mentor on this. The only 3D Viewer that seems to have issue is that one. That implies a bug in their viewer software.
