3D viewer renders invalid board thickness
I've written a KiCad Python script to generate a panel out of multiple boards. After generating the panel and opening the board, the 3D viewer shows a much larger board thickness than the 1.6 mm thickness set. After hitting the "adjust dielectric" button, the panel thickness is rendered correctly.
Related kicad.info thread, which contains more information, including screenshots: https://forum.kicad.info/t/very-thick-looking-board-in-3d-viewer/41946
The project is not open-sourced yet, so I can't share the panel.
