Pre-fabricated glass as a Prop

Please add a pre-fabricated square pane of glass to the menu of spawnable Props. This would be identical in every way to the existing Cocktail Glass, but without the stem and cup.
Since for the time being it's not possible to draw transparent shapes, please use the already-existing pre-fabricated Prop system to enable creators to have glass surfaces.
This request is distinct from the request for a drawable transparent maker pen shape. Even if the glass does not have collision or movement physics, a square pane would be a vast improvement over the cocktail glass.

There are good design reasons why this is a bad solution. [|=)]
The more general request for transparent makerpen geometry is being taken seriously, and for design reasons that's the more important development to focus on.

Joker: if we could have the reflective surface that you can get from resizing a prop glass, that would be ideal.
Joker
Ralziel: We do have reflective surfaces now. The crashpad, glossy plastic, and metal materials for example. The transparency is the difficult part for this.
Ralziel
Joker: I see now. Once transparency is done, to get the same effect as scaling up a glass, you'd just make metal semi transparent?

Yes! I requested exactly this a while ago, but Ryu merged it into the textures post. Just think of the lovely windows we could make...

Its true it would be useful. Having textures seems entirely possible glass would function alot like that im guessing. In example look at neon. Its a color at max brightness and gamma. Wouldnt it make sense to make glass by just cutting the transparency of the block in half?
