Nesting Algorithm Needs Work

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.

We could use this for products regardless of if they associate to a wall or not, including our custom millwork walls.
