Hi Mario

I just tried your branch the other day, but there the raytracing did
not seem work properly at all. It was not rendering anything sometimes
and when it did it was one of the very low res views. I don't remeber
the revno, have you see this before? (I have not tried the latest of
today yet, in case you already fixed it).

I have a desing in similar complexity as that board and maybe a bit
less, but it takes 17 seconds to load the board in the 3d view,
whereas in the 3d viewer in 4.0.2 it takes 3 seconds for it to render
in the 3d viewer.

I have also noticed that there are not holes rendered in the solder
paste in the opengl view.

>> :: Pivot rotation and center
>> If you click with *middle button* or press *spacebar*, it will center the board at the mouse cursor and that will become the center of rotation (useful for rotate around a are of interest)
>> As a candy, I implemented an animated arrow that will show you where you clicked and what the center is (similar when you play MMORPGs or you select a unity in a video game )
>>
>> :: Animated camera
>> When you press view keys, the camera will be smooth animated, just to remember, these are the already (in stable) shortcuts:
>> z/Z, x/X, y/Y, r(reset), F1(zoom in), F2(zoom out), cursor(pan)

>> Hope you enjoy.
