One of the Cadence Channel Partners (CB Distribution) has created a tcl app that will allow you to see the 3D step model of a footprint. Put the attached file into %HOME%\cdssetup\OrCAD_Capture\tclscripts\capAutoLoad and then restart Capture, select the part right click - More - View 3D Footprint and the step model will be shown (as long as it is set up in the pcb footprint). There is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb40FMNHztc . community.cadence.com/.../3d_5F00_View.zip For the rest I would raise an enhancement request with Cadence / Channel Partner.
