...an awesome 3d gerber viewer that will even model components on the board from an IPC file.

Cool, giving this a go as it seems to run in WINE on Linux. It seems very powerful but the GUI is awful and it can be very slow and processor intensive at some points.

EDIT: Oh wow, once it's loaded/rendered everything it's quite snappy though.

Haha the GUI is a bit of a challenge to get used to, but the functionality is pretty great. I also primarily use it under WINE. If your CAM job has normal extensions, autodetection of the project via File -> Compose -> Auto is really convenient.

"normal" extensions :laughing: We are trying to make sense of all the ways to name Gerbers in whats-that-gerber. It's good it's got something built in though.

I am up for adding this, could you prepare a PR?
