fusion_capture_library_views 3d view: no body, stalls, leaves generator doc open

Found while recording forum demo clips on arav-rog (1.11.9), 2026-10-04.

fusion_capture_library_views {packages:["VL53L5CX","VL53L8CX"], settle:3} with Adom_ToF.lbr open:

  • The 3d view for VL53L5CX reported ok: true, but the frame shows the package editor (Create3DPackage generator, PACKAGE tab with FINISH) holding the footprint outline and >NAME/>VALUE only, with NO chip body. The library's packages are bound to f3d urns and render bodies fine on a board (fusion_make_showcase_project then fusion_show_3d_board shows all three chips).
  • The run then sat in that view for about 55 s and did not reach VL53L8CX or the component view within the take.
  • It left an Unsaved VL53L5CX design tab open (closed by hand with fusion_close_document {name:"VL53L5CX", save:false}). Per fusion-multipart-libraries, that generator is dialog-trapped on FINISH, so leaving it open is a hazard.

Expected: the 3d view renders the bound body (or reports ok:false when no body is visible), advances to the next package, and closes any generator doc it opened.

Fixed in 1.11.10 (insiders). The 3d view no longer uses the Create3DPackage generator (footprint only, always the library's first package, left an unsaved tab). It now opens the part's own bound f3d by its package3dinstance urn, frames it, counts bodies (ok:false when there are none), captures, closes it unsaved, and puts the library back in front. Verified on arav-rog with VL53L8CX: 10 bodies, the real chip on its footprint, then the component view captured in the Electronics Library. Unit test bound_p3d_tests covers the per-part urn lookup.
