This is great! We use Material UI at Viable. They have a default elevation system that is great, is there a way to get that as a default in elevation Scale?

@jeffreykaine Hey, great to hear from you. Can you explain this a bit more? Are you asking if predefined scales could be included so you would have a dropdown where you select "material elevation" or something else and it creates those by default? Or do you mean something else?

@lukasoppermann Yeah, that's basically what I'd like. A dropdown to select a preset, and then it just puts those together for me so I don't have to define anything. That way I can install, select my scale, and get to work.

@jeffreykaine This is a great idea, I created a ticket for it: https://github.com/lukasopperman... Do you already know the algorithm with which the material shadows are created? Can you add it to the ticket? Cheers & have a great day
