You can make your own - produce a PCB with the chip on it and header, ensure
edge cuts are in the right place, move things around in 3D to look like you
want and then export as a 3D model, step, wrl etc. Not difficult. E.g.? its
now 0755, 0810 done. This is useful for all sorts of plug in boards. You can
then use the 3D model in place of the standard component.
I got as far as exporting, but found that what I exported didn't show up when I tried to assign the model to the footprint. Then it was pointed out to me that the scale was way off. After fiddling with the "User defined origin" and "VRML Units for Output Files", I got something visible, but still the scaling was off. Then on a lark I removed all lines containing "scale" with sed -i /^\s*.*scale.*$/d and the model fit perfectly.
Why isn't there an option in the VRML export options to just omit all scale commands?
