Hi Thanks for the improvements with the ability to select individual faces on an object to help with the orientation of the material. however only having the option to have auto rotate or nothing does not work for all situations. Will you be bringing the ability to allow the user to rotate the material in visualisation as an extra option.eg. x, y, z axis
