3D. Board not visible

JuriV

Hello everybody,

I have a problem by using of 3D canvas. I can see the components only, but not the PCB self. In the visibility windows all  is checked. Are any variables must be set in the User Preferences? I am using 17.4 with HotFix 10. Every body know this issue?

Thank you

    Should be no issue if the outline is on the design outline layer as Steve said.  Please take a look at this example and paste a screenshot from the 3D viewer.  Make sure you select "ALL OBJECTS" when the 3D viewer prompts you otherwise the 3D canvas will be blank!

    Thank you very much,

    If you happen to have the board outline in Class: Board Geometry, Subclass: Ncroute_path the board will not show up in 3D canvas.  This is also true if you have the board outline in subclass: Cutout.
