View 3D PCB only shows top and bottom layers, no internal ones

[Anonymous]

I made a sketch in Fusion 360, created a 3D PCB from the sketch, pushed the 3D PCB to 2d PCB, made a 6-layer board.Then I clicked "view 3D PCB", but only layers 1 and 16 show up, not the internal layers 2,3,14, and 15. Am I missing a step or something?

TIA, Greg

Hi @Anonymous , multi-layer 3D PCB is not supported yet. So far you can only create a two-layer 3D PCB.

Hi @yqliu,

Do have any approximate date or timeline when we can expect multi-layer 3D PCB implemented?

Hi @Anonymous, the team is focusing on some fundamental work to improve the user experience of Fusion electronics. Multi-layer 3D PCB is not among the plan for the next six months.

Let me bump this comment up and hope for an update- while realizing this is not at the top of the heap as Fusion Electronics issues go. 

However, collaboration between 3D CAD designers (me) and someone else working in Fusion Electronics would be enhanced by the ability to see trace locations in internal layers. I'm currently going back and forth over mounting and hardware locations that require holes in the PCB and the ability to see what is happening internally would help a lot.

Fusion currently displays traces on the top and bottom layers in the 3D view.  It doesn't seem it would be a huge leap to render 3D version of other layer features. If internal layer traces could be rendered as well, I can just hide or make transparent the board, and do a much better job of not upsetting the electronics side of the room. It would facilitate the kind of iterative design process that is Fusion's strength.
