Searching for PCB/Components Visualizer

Hi,

I'm searching for some (simple?) Freeware Tool to visualize in 3D a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with components like Resistors and Transistors on it.

It's only needed for visualization and I should be able to manually draw PCB tracks on it and make 2D screenshots of it.

All tips are welcome.

Thanks,

Henk

Kicad has that ability integrated with its PCB layout application. There aren't 3D models for every component but it's easy enough to build new ones (or modify existing) using the (also free) Wings3D.

Versions available for Windows and Linux.

Also National instruments UTILBOARD have nice 3D PCB view.
