	Starting from a schematic in TARGET 3001! you like to place parts and tracks on a 3D body. Pressing the 3D button in the schematic toolbar to the right at this stage delivers an empty canvas because you first need to import a 3D construct. In menu "Actions" please use item "Prepare MID...". A browser opens to select a STEP file in Format *.stp which delivers the body to design on. '''You should have a 3D object in STEP format at hand to design on. In TARGET itself such a 3D body can not be constructed.''' For a later opening of the 3D-view press the 3D-button in the schematic toolbar top right.		Starting from a schematic in TARGET 3001! you like to place parts and tracks on a 3D body.
