TARGET 3001! allows to inspect your layouts in 3D View. Fly through your TARGET-Layout and inspect the layout elements from all sides. By the use of the STEP 3D export you will be able to print your "assembled" board physically in 3D prior to real assembly. To see what you have created, click in layout menu "View" on "3D view" or simply click button:

Precondition is, that a component has a 3D-model. Most packages in TARGET 3001! are furnished with 3D models.

Minimum requirements for 3D view

For a 3D representation of a component the properties at least need a height information (COMPONENT_HEIGHT). This simply pulls the floor plan upwards (extrudes it) so that a solid is created. We also call this an "extruded polygon". All components in TARGET by default have a minimum height of two millimetres, unless they already have the correct height according to the data sheet. Even if you want to add a 3D model to a component, you will first be asked if you want to create a simple "extruded polygon":

Image: Right click M2 on the area of the 3D image gives opportunity to edit the 3D Model. First you get asked whether you'd like to have a simple extruded polygon created. If you say yes, the following image shows what you will get:

Image: Extruded polygon. Double click on the line defines the height of the extrusion.

Plastic 3D model. How does that work?

The following images will give an impression on the usability of the 3D function in TARGET 3001!:
