When looking to improve visualization.

Can we create custom environments?  
Can we be allowed to turn off the rotational lighting or turn off shadows altogether?  
Can we add text, callouts, arrows, dimensions, etc?

Also adding builging material textures like insulation (fiberglass, mineral wool, SPF), foam boards (EPS, XPS, Poliso), Gypsum, Brick, siding, etc.

For example, the shadows hurt the visualization for a section view.
