Not implemented. I'd love to render component models at some point, but
reading in CAD data is very difficult. Outline + Z-height would be
interesting to do, but we would still need to define the outline. (And
our file-formats currently don't support this).

Later on in my (yet unmerged) branches there is support for rendering
the board with depth between the layers, but as it was a crude proof of
concept, the actual thickness is not configurable.


I'm concentrating on merging what I've got written so far (however
inflexible) before trying to make it "perfect".
