electronics: variant selection is not reflected in 3D pcb view

Hi there,

I think the title says it all.

If you select a variant, schematics and 2D pcb will reflect the choice.

However, components do not disappear from 3D pcb view, even though you refresh it.

Thanks for thinking about it.

Have a nice day.

Hi @djon_3V3

I hope you are doing well!

For this issue, I have logged a ticket to the develop team.

I will keep you updated when I get more information.

Regards,

Panpan Fan

It does not look like this has been fixed in the mean time.

Or am I missing something?

Hi @edwinATABC,

I hope you're doing well. This is still being worked on, I'll add your feedback to the existing ticket to bump it's priority.

Best Regards,

hi @jorge_garcia.

You can add me to the bump too. Being a bit silent does not mean that i am not interested in seeing this solved.

I get bothered at times by it.

Thanks for your reply Jorge,

Just to add to my message: what I think would be useful is that every variant has a separate 3D PCB model associated with it. So the electronic design document file may have multiple 3D pcb's listed for each schematic/layout combination.

This is clearly an area where the electronics/mechanical design tools have not been integrated yet, as that is (for me) the use case for this. I need multiple 3D variants in a single mechanical design.

Best regards,

Edwin
