PCB Libraries is my favorite tool for designing Altium footprints.

PCB Library Expert Overview - Video


"The new V2015 “PCB Library Expert” by PCB Libraries, Inc. has a new Altium Script Interface that imports both the Footprint and 3D STEP Model simultaneously and imports the Height and Description attributes straight from the FPX file.

Altium layer assignments are user definable. Also, the 3D Model rotates the same as the Footprint (if you rotate the footprint in Library Expert the 3D model will match the rotation). 


You can import one part or 10,000 parts at a time to create an entire new library using your personal library construction preferences."
