Assign Material to Faces for Keyshot Rendering

I am trying to add different materials to different faces of one Onshape model in Keyshot.

Keyshot is good at seeing different materials if applied onto the model. I have assigned materials to faces in Creo models, and Keyshot is able to recognise these faces and apply different materials to them.

Can Onshape do this? I have assigned materials to parts in Onshape, but have not been able to do this with separate faces of the same model.

I am trying to doing this so I can render things like Plywood that have two faces that look very different from each other.

Thanks for anyone that can possibly help me.

    Not yet I'm afraid. Colouring individual faces is a pretty popular request so I'm sure it will come.  I had a similar issue with engraving laminate so just modelled each layer as a part.
