Hi Cirilo,

I'm not very familiar with building kicad in linux... (I do my most 
testing in windows)
could you please post the commands to build only the test program 
'test3dmm' after downloading your branch?

I think it would be useful to add the ability to switch on and off some 
3D models (similar to what it can be done in pcbnew for layers) to e.g. 
display or not mechanical enclosures directly in 3d-viewer...

something similar to what I do with virtual model in my branch
as in the mailing list message
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg18079.html
it is possible to show or not models that are marked as virtual, so to 
enhance mechanical collaboration.
