Add ability to show "Colour by Utilization Ratio" for 3D view in post processing workflow

It would be good to have a 3D view in post processing with colours of the beam as defined with a UR value. It is possible to have this with beam view now, but would be good if we have it for 3D view like SACS have. (as shown below for example).
