How to use Eagle3D

Sometime we need to check a view of own boards.
We have 2 choices for it.

1. Use "Eagle meets SketchUp". http://eagleup.wordpress.com/
• Eagle ULP
• ImageMagick
• Google SketchUp
2. Use "Eagle3D". http://www.matwei.de/doku.php?id=en:eagle3d:eagle3d
• Eagle ULP
• POV-Ray

Both are good solution for you.
I tried to use the Eagle3D with EAGLE 5.10.0 and POV-Ray 3.6.

1. Download POV-Ray from http://www.povray.org/download/
2. Download Eagle3D from http://www.matwei.de/doku.php?id=en:eagle3d:eagle3d
3. Install these software.
4. Open your board on EAGLE.
5. Choose the Eagle3D ulp named 3d41.ulp. The location is %PROGRAMFILES%\Eagle\ulp\Eagle3D. It's for EAGLE Version 4.1. But it works with current version of it.
6. Select a few parameters and run it.
7. Open a destination file with POV-Ray. The extention is ".pov".
8. Press 'run' button. Some include files for POV-Ray are needed. It's located in %PROGRAMFILES%\Eagle\ulp\Eagle3D\povray.
9. Check your board image.

Exactly same :)
Enjoy with your board!
