Raytracing: board bodies not displaying when multiple edges defined

[Benoît Vernier]

Hi,

I am using KiCAD 5.0.0-rc2-dev-433-g81843c3 on macOS.

When I define several board outlines on the Edge.Cut layer, the board bodies aren't being rendered using the Raytracing, while they are when using OpenGL. I have attached screenshots to demonstrate the behavior.

Could you please test on http://downloads.kicad-pcb.org/osx/testing/kicad-unified-5.0.0-rc3-2.dmg?

Same problem

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

Please attach a board file for testing.

This is due the assumption that should be only one PCB design at time. There are differences in the render structure between OpenGL and raytracing render, so there is this result.

Could you check in OpenGL that you (do not?) have the PCB board body rendered ? by disabling all layers leaving only the board body?

[Benoît Vernier (bvernier)]

It indeed seems like it comes from the assumption of having only one contiguous board outline.

You can find the board file attached.

I think this has always been this way and the assumption in KiCad is that there is only a single board outline. I'm guessing the amount of effort to change this would not be trivial but it is something that we can certainly consider. When anyone would have time to get around to this is unknown.
