The display area will be blank if the footprint cannot be located in the specified PCB Library. Click the icon in the lower left of the preview to toggle between 2D and 3D modes. This region displays the preview of the target footprint. If necessary, it can be overridden for a placed component allowing a different source PCB Library to be selected. Use footprint from component library - this option becomes enabled when the component is placed from a compiled library, such as an integrated library or from a server.Click the Choose button to select a path. Library path - enable to search for target footprints in the named library in the specified location.Enter the library name directly in the text field. Library name - enable to search for the target footprint in the named library.Any - enable to search for the target footprint in all currently available libraries.Description - enter a meaningful description for the footprint.Method for Generation of Centroid File and Bill of Material from Altium. Pin Map - click to open the Model Map dialog to map pins between the schematic symbol and the PCB footprint. Remove the graphics for that footprint in Pcbnew (Its just graphics at this.Browse - click to open the Browse Libraries dialog to search for the target footprint.Name - displays the name of the footprint.From the schematic library editor, in the Model Manager dialog ( Tools » Model Manager), click the Add drop-down then choose Footprint.From the schematic editor and schematic library editor, in the Properties panel in Component mode, click the Add drop-down then select Footprint or select the ( ) button in the Parameters region.The dialog can be accessed in the following ways: Pin mapping between schematic symbols and PCB models can also be manually edited.

The PCB Model dialog allows you to search for and assign a new PCB model to a schematic symbol.
