Visibility control of 3D shapes in footprint (lp:#1685004)
Original report created by Art (diametrix)
Footprint editor currently allows you select multiple 3D shapes for a
single footprint, which can be a very handy feature. For example, it would
be convenient if I can have a single chip component footprint library for
capacitors, inductors and resistors and then add multiple 3D shapes for the
same footprint and then select for each component in PCBnew appropriate 3D
shape. In the same manner if I have parts which differ in appearance but
share the same footprint you can add multiple shapes and then select
appropriate shape in PCBnew. However, currently if you add multiple shapes
they all are showing simultaneously, which doesn't make sense. Ether
selection needs to be restricted to a single shape per single footprint or
there needs to be a way to select between the shape for each component.
