• I have 3D model for most of the components. When I check the layout, I would like to see the traces. I have trouble to disable the 3D model so they won't show up in the 3D view.
  I appreciate any help. Thanks.

• File -> System preferences -> PCB Editor -> Display -> Show Simple 3D bodies and Show Generic 3D models
  
  For some reason they made that incredibly complicated to find. in Designer these settings are directly accessible in the Layer options

• Thanks. That helps a lot. This option really should under the 3D view configuration.

• Alternate way to access that setting:
  In 3D view, right-click, Options > Display > Show...

• Just found this.
  If you go to PCB -> 3D models, there are also 3D bodies display options on the bottom of the panel.

• Ahh, that also lets you hide individual 3D models. Quite useful for getting mechnical parts in/out of view. Thanks.
