# PCB 3D space

A PCB space lets you create printed circuit boards in 3D. This space has a split view, with the 3D view on top and the 2D view on the bottom.

The following table describes the differences between 2D and 3D views:

| 2D | 3D
--- | --- | ---
Parts represented as: | Schematic (symbols) | Real-life
Parts allowed: | All (except mechanisms without electronic aspects) | Electronics and Mechanisms
Wiring: | Drag on pads to add wires | None. Wiring is represented by tracks after routing with real-PCB.
PCB board: | None | Shown without tracks until routing with real-PCB. Shape depends on which type of PCB 3D space is used.
