These components within the library will be in generic form, meaning they have no manufacturer part number associated with the footprint. For example, one footprint for 0603 for RCL components - Use a universal 3D model for every category? I do not know.

There are different sizes (0402, 0603, 1005 etc) and for each size there are 3 x footprints based on the IPC7351 (M,N,L) Also the 3D model varies from manufacturer to manufacturer My considerations so far: - After some searching I decided to adopt the IPC Nominal Material Density - Keep the same footprint for resistors, capacitors and inductors. It doesn't make sense to me to have a single symbol for every part number that will return into a huge volume library with many identical footprints. One generic schematic for resistors and inductors, and two schematics for capacitors (polarized and non polarized) The things are getting very messy with footprints. Hi everyone, Do you have any advice regarding organizing the library for passive SMD components (resistor,capacitor, inductors)? Regarding the schematic the things are simple.
