Currently working on adding import capability, initially supporting (not necessarily all versions of) .3ds, .dae, .fbx, .obj, and .stl. Cannot claim that material translation will work this nice in all cases (depends what is in the file, and whether it actually makes sense) but here is an .obj example (I also have .3ds of this model, and it works similarly):
The floor is something I put there, not from the .obj. In the import, we currently retain structure present in the imported file, parented under a top-level xform representing the imported model, and the translated materials are available for editing, no different than any others.
