When doing a mass/weight check OS says "one or more parts do not have material defined" Does/can OS identify which parts are missing materials?

As @cody_armstrong responded at one of the webinars: there is no visual way to quickly identify which parts have or miss materials.
What I do is:
1. Select part in the tree (first selected object has to be part in the tree).
2. Click "Display mass properties" icon
3. You get the result window:
4. Add next parts - you can select objects in the graphical window now but I do it in the tree from top to bottom.
When you select part which doesn't have material set the result window will show it:
Anyway I would like to have in onShape rendering option "Shading with material" as CATIA v5 has.
I checked rendering apps from AppStrore (OneRender and RealityServer) but they do not inherit materials from onShape. Anyway that would be too slow checking method.
Or maybe any Feature Script to list parts' materials?
