FEATURE REQUEST - Add 3D Elevation Tokens
We would like to see 3D Elevation Tokens that work in much the same way as 2D plan tokens, drawing automatically when you draw your 3D product. This way, once we have the 3D products in, you could have viewports set up to automatically show the layers you want in each view and create your elevations without having to use the "Draw 2D Elevation" button. We could use this for products regardless of if they associate to a wall or not, including our custom millwork walls.
