Bug Description

When adding a Dimension to a board it does not show up in the 3D rendering. It shows up in the generated Gerber files though.

Also there is no way to set the visibility of the dimension from the Dimension Properties dialog.

I can confirm this behaivour. I also think this is a bug, since it can be placed on silk it should also render as such.

I am not sure, but I believe this is a Wish (a not implemented feature), not a bug.
Also not sure, but can you see in switch the 3D mode to technical mode that dimension appear?
I am sure that no dimensions or other additional technical payers will be rendered in 3D "realist mode".

If you allow the user to place something to the silk screen it should be visible when rendering the 3D. If it gets exported to the gerber file then this is clearly a bug.

It is not visible when in technical mode.
