: While primarily for geometry, it is possible to export a specific net (e.g., from the Net Tracer ) to visualize its path through different vertical layers. Colors in the 2.5d View - KLayout Layout Viewer And Editor
KLayout’s 2.5D view provides a lightweight, effective bridge between planar layout data and physical stackup intuition—ideal for catching vertical mismatches, presenting process stacks, and validating topology before costly fabrication or detailed 3D modeling. klayout 25d view

The 2.5D view isn't just a "one-click" magic button; it requires a bit of configuration to know how high to extrude each layer. Check Requirements : Ensure your version of KLayout is compiled with OpenGL support
