>>
>> I just say GREAT!
>>
>> the *3D cache* is a great improvement and it is blazing fast!
>>
>> *Virtual Attributes* are a plus for mechanical integration and enclosure
>> design
>> The new *Pivot center of rotation* is a gem for inspecting in 3D viewer
>> big boards in all electrical and mechanical aspects...
>>
>> Also the ability to show/hide material properties is very useful to be
>> able to concentrate on designing aspects!
>> Nice option also CAD style view!
>>
>> *Raytracing* also adds an option to get nice screenshots of the board
>> and parts and *animated camera* is a nice aesthetic feature for product
>> presentation aspects.
>>
>> Looking forward to see it in the main branch! :D

>> Thank you again for your work!

>>> If you want to have fun with your 3D boards, the new features are:

>>> :: Show/Hide Footprint 3d modules based on Attributes (implemented as menu checkbox and keyboard shortcuts)

>>>    Virtual, shortcut: V (as in .. Virtual)
>>> Remind that this attributes are already present in Footprint->Attributes dialog configuration.

>>> :: (re) implemented use materials model properties
>>> There are 3 options now: Use all properties, use diffuse only, CAD style (it show as a soft gray color so you can concentrate more in the mechanical aspects)
>>>
>>> :: 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.
>>> Let me know if you try it.
