Thanks, Mario.

I tested it, and I have some remarks:
Option Show 3D Footprint cannot be re-enabled, after it is disabled.
Option Show Zone Filling cannot be disabled, after it is enabled.
Option Remove Holes: the text is unclear.
Should be something like "Show Holes in Copper Zones"
Perhaps adding tool tips for some render options is helpful.


The textures are now better.
