3D Body

A 3D Body primitive is added to the PCB and footprint editors, allowing a simple 3D model to be created by drawing an outline and stretching it.

Entry

Top Menu - Place - 3D Body - Rectangle / Circle / Polygon, etc.

After choosing a 3D Body shape you enter drawing mode; draw the outline on the canvas, and the interaction is the same as for other primitives
When drawing is finished it is selected automatically, and you remain in drawing mode waiting for the next start point
Set the following parameters in the right properties panel:
- Layer: 3D Top Layer or 3D Bottom Layer
- Override Height: the highest height above the datum plane; 2mm by default, limited to ≥0
- Standoff Height: the lowest height below the datum plane; 0 by default, and negative values can be entered. Standoff Height must be ≤ Override Height; the two are swapped automatically when the field loses focus
- Entity Colour: can be customized

The layer names "3D Shell Top/Bottom Layer" are changed to "3D Top/Bottom Layer"
Display Color, the Filter panel, Find, the left tree and the Delete Objects dialog all add support for the 3D Body primitive
Export 3D File adds a 3D Body checkbox, which is checked by default. The 3D Shell file does not contain 3D bodies
