I am working on a rack mount for the Yellow board, and was downloading the kicad project to get a step file of the entire assembly. However, when you download the latest release v1.3d posted on 2/6/23, it looks like the Yellow.3dshapes folder inside of the source code zip file is completely empty. I am not sure if this is just git being weird, or if the files are missing from the zip itself when it was uploaded.

If you go to the yellow-3dshapes folder @4e023a0 branch, and download the files there and manually dump them into the extracted Yellow.3dshapes folder, KiCad seems to populate them onto the board just fine. But it still looks like a few parts might be missing. Some are obviously missing, like the CM4 and its heat sink, and some could just be unpopulated but I haven't had time to do a full inventory of any spaces that could be unpopulated. I am guessing that there were some changes between the @4e02a0 branch and the v1.3d release (probably just file names?)

I highlighted what I could spot quickly as missing from the render:

Possibly related, but the one thing I haven't found yet is a model of case yet - I was hoping to make my rack mount as "drop-in" as possible, so that it could be added without even needing to take the case off, but I am still playing with ideas. Is case model available anywhere?

Just for clarity: most of these are non-issues for what I am trying to do. Its really just the missing J6 connector (if used) and the missing CM4+heat sink that give me pause. The J6 so that I can make sure I don't accidentally block it, and the CM4+heat sink so that I make sure there is enough height about the CCA in my rackmount design.
