Feature Request: Assign different colors for different Sheet Stock material to distinguish faces.
This would help out so much to assist with visual cues and catches. Also would help how its the part is going to face on the CNC bed. Different colors on each side of the face so we know know it will nest and render correctly based on materials.

More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
