In the case of wanting edge fingers to show up in the 3D model, where the fingers have been made into a connector library object, is there a way to bring in the copper layer from the footprint into the 3D model? I only see the vias I have in the footprint right now:
I guess because the pads are really polygons?

When switching to 3D only the hole locations come over to help you locate a 3D model that you may have downloaded from the component manufacturer. Even if you used the normal PADs and SMD command the copper doesn't come into the 3D package editor only the outlines and center points.
Are you looking to build the full model from scratch?
Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

So, in this case, I just saved those holes out, and the placeholder went away, which exposed the copper traces anyway, so the 3D model looks OK:
The only things missing now are the solder mask clearances and the BMP of our logo that is on layer 200. Not sure how to tell the Push to 3D feature to include layer 200
The solder mask clearances are being worked on, because we need a new material in 3D Fusion to properly render them. This is being worked on.
The logo is easy. Go into the Display layers panel. On the top right you'll see a little gear icon, click it. Then go into the Editable Layer Sets for Top and Bottom Silkscreen, add layer 200 to wherever you want the logo to show up.
Best Regards,
