Rendering onto the board in 3D viewer depends on the new implementation of 3D viewer which Mario is working on, so at the moment you can only see these models in the preview. However, for IDF users it is now possible to see the IDF component outline before it's added to the board for IDF export.
Although I think these initial changes should be ready to merge perhaps by February 2016, the completion of the new rendering system will be much later. Among other things we still need to implement the VRML2 plugin and also a VRML1 and X3D plugin to be able to provide all the features of the current 3D rendering code. - Cirilo On Fri, Dec 18, 2015 at 8:09 PM, Nick Østergaard <[email protected]> wrote: > That looks pretty good.
