Nice progress! Must be exciting seeing everything to start to come
together like this!

I have checked that the object exists, but it's not shown and no error message. See the empty area in the style panel next to the `Billboard Symbol` label.

Odd - what you have looks ok to me. Does it work if you try copying a
symbol button from elsewhere in QGIS (e.g. say the point displacement
renderer ui file) and paste it into the 3d widget in designer?
