why 3D models in mech 1

Please remember the point where you stopped watching. We are working on a new portal and it will support playing from the last point (the new portal should be hopefully available around end of this year).

I never blog but I'm trying to get back to my course and I don't see how. I'm logged in so where do I go to get back to where I was?

No special reason. I use mechanical layer 1, because 3D model is usually placed there by default. You can use any mechanical layer, just keep it consistent across your projects or in your company.

I'm going through you course an I noticed all of the components have their 3D models on mechanical layer 1. Is there a reason for this? I thought mechanical layer 1 was only to be used for the board outline.
