KLayout's 2.5D View is a powerful visualization tool that bridges the gap between traditional 2D top-down layout editing and full 3D modeling. It allows designers to see their integrated circuit (IC) or MEMS designs with simulated thickness and vertical stacking, making it much easier to spot layer alignment issues or structural inconsistencies. What is the 2.5D View?
2.5D Scripting: To use the tool, you must create a script that defines how the layers are stacked and extruded. These scripts use a variant of the DRC (Design Rule Check) language. klayout 25d view
If your polygons just look like flat colored pancakes even in perspective mode, check the "Sidewall" thickness. Without sidewalls, an extruded polygon is invisible when viewed from the side. Set "Sidewall width" to at least 1 pixel. KLayout's 2
