Model Builder Patch 1.1.0

Significant changes are ahead of us! This Model Builder patch adds two new features that were brought to our attention by you guys: repaint feature and a Masking Tape tool rework!

We've also managed to improve the UI elements, fixed a lot of bugs related to some quests (Finish Project button problem), and added a few accessibility features.
