The ability to label tables with colors in the "model view". For example, blue for fact tables, red for dimension tables, and yellow for dictionaries. Another color for bridge tables. In this way, the entire star schema would be readable at first sight.

RE: Color tables in model view
Really appreciate Przemyslaw Remin. It is absolutely a perfect idea to enhance data modeling visually, easily track changes and relationships among different types of tables, i.e. bridge tables, aggregate, grouped, modified tables, fact tables, dimension tables, etc. in the model view.
RE: Color tables in model view
I forgot to thank Przemyslaw for proposing my suggestion before I realized I needed it. Thanks Przemyslaw!!!
RE: Color tables in model view
Exactly!! In complex models with dozens (or scores) of tables it would be great to see fact tables and dimension tables, etc. instantly with color coding. I've used PBI since 2016 and this is increasingly necessary. I'm trying to create the MOAD (Mother Of All Dashboards) and losing track of what is what. Thank you Microsoft!

and add auto-arrange of tables - "Star"," DIM tables at the top" etc
