Thread-topic:
[Kicad-developers] Evaluating cross-selection between the 3D-Viewer and Pcbnew
Thanks all for the suggestions on this subject.
I managed to implement almost all the things I had in mind without using kiway.
>From the 3D-Viewer side, I got the board information with all the items state (eg using IsSelected as Fabien suggested)
but that only works one way Pcbnew -> Board -> 3D-Viewer
I noticed that it does not work: if I set an item to be selected, pcbnew will not show it as selected.
Here is where I believe it misses the use of kiway.
I added in pcbnew calls to request a redraw of the 3D-Viewer (when footprint is selected or moved). It adds/touches only less than a dozen of lines of code.
This should be drooped in future if using kiway, but at this moment pcbnew already request a reload of 3D-viewer on a similar fashion.
I open this merge request if you would like to test it and where you can have a list of the implemented features:

looking for your feedback and ideas to see if that can be more improved!
Regards,
Mario Luzeiro
