Add ability to display cell preview with filled areas

In the preview area of the Cell Library dialog box the cell preview is not showing filled areas. This can easily render the display beyond recognition. As a user I'd like to see the cell preview with filled areas

    We support this idea.
    We have cell libraries where cells can look quite similar, the difference being that some of them has fill as part of the symbol. Therefore, it would be helpful to be able to see fill in the Cell dialog preview window.
    Please note that other Bentley products such as the File Explorer Thumbnail provider and the File Explorer Preview have support for showing fill. In the Cell dialog preview the only option is to toggle between wireframe and Smooth Shading.
    Please see attached images.
