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

Re: SMT-to-DIP 3d models
No, this is not new. You can export 3D step files in V5. You can also add multiple 3D files to one footprint, e.g. a board connector + mating connector or a SODIMM connector + memory module pcb. Op
