Also transform 3D Model

[hacsccc]

Hi,

When transforming a graphical footprint, the 3D-Model is not transformed.

How-to-Reproduce

• Make a new board
• Add two blahaj
• Transform the bottom one
• Notice that the 3D-Model stays the same

Transforming models is not supported and is not planned. It's a huge amount of work (or massive 3rd party dependencies).
Use dedicated tools for that like FreeCAD.

I had something different in mind: Use the transform tools already existing in KiCad. Models can be scaled, rotated and translated. So the actual wish is to calculate those values based on the transformation and update the footprint.

I see, that is technically doable. Although I'm not sure it should be done because kicad encourages all models to be correctly sized with scale of 1 and 0 rotation/translation.

Either way, it will be a while until I can get around to this.
