Castellated Holes not rendering correctly

I have used castellated holes in my Eagle designs in the pas. I am now trying to use the same component (Pin headers with long pads with two holes) that creates the castellated holes in Eagle in the Fusion Electronics environment, but the castellated holes not rendering correctly when viewed in 3D. Am I doing something wrong or are castellated holes not supported yet in fusion?

Hi AntonGabrie,

Thank you for participating on the Fusion 360 Forums.  Please render the PCB with canvas to render the 3D image as expected.

From Fusion 360 PCB layout render 3D with canvas.

Hi @edwin.robledo,

 

This solution is just a workaround. The actual 3D geometry of the copper is very useful in for alignment checks and CAM operations. Especially when the thickness of the copper plating matters. Your original solution is a few years old though - is there a better solution now?

 

P.S. As another workaround, I tried manually using a plane to cut the copper bodies at the edge but (a) those tools aren't available in the 3D PCB environment, and (b) I couldn't select them as objects in a separate assembly.
