FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to show Render Material Texture in Composite Nest

Now that Microvellum is working on applying Render Materials to Database Materials, I would like the ability to show the face-up side of the material on the Composite Nest to help the Engineer differentiate the materials in the nest. If the material is grained, the view should be oriented in the direction indicated in the material's information as to whether the grain runs the length or width of the sheet. These improvements would help ensure an Engineer doesn't move parts onto a sheet with the incorrect side facing up. The images should be more transparent than what I show below to make sure the Engineer can see the machining lines better, but the image gives you an idea of what I'm asking for. Also, the images should be on a layer that can be turned off to allow viewing the Composite as it currently is available.

If you are using Formula Driven Materials, the Rendered Material face would be based on the face of the laminate/veneer in the database.
