We need to be able to render the solder mask that covers some smtpads, this will allow 3d textures place on circuit boards to be accurate (where traces are mostly green due to solder mask) CC @Anas...
so solder mask is usually not rendered because it's distracting during regular pcb development
(ground pours are also conditionally rendered)
i've changed it to
showSolderMask
we don't need to render the board solder mask, just the solder mask over smt pads for now
it's a good question and we may need to eventually support it
it should be green i think
i'm actually a bit confused, why is the solder mask extending outside the pad? I think we just change the color of the pad (and it's layer)
