when making a quad from 2 edges - it was comparing the edge lengths to avoid making a bowtie quad. but this doesnt work in all cases, now compare normals instead.
the problem was a triangle couldnt be made when there was a quad that used 3 of the verts.
* now check if overlapping face has same length as the one to be created.
* an unrelated fix - the output of a triangle was not being flagged by the bmesh_contextual_create operator.
When set to solid-shading, GPU_update_grid_buffers was calling
normal_quad_v3 to output into a mapped buffer, but normal_quad_v3
reads as well as writes.
This fix actually makes a huge performance difference with my drivers
(Gallium/Radeon).
For the preview-icon search menu (used for example in brush
selection), clip the text so that long names don't flow out into the
space between columns.
There are a number of features that use a kind of "internal linking" in nodes:
1. muting
2. delete + reconnect (restore link to/from node after delete)
3. the new detach operator (same as 2, but don't delete the node)
The desired behavior in all cases is the same: find a sensible mapping of inputs-to-outputs of a node. In the case of muting these links are displayed in red on the node itself. For the other operators they are used to relink connections, such that one gets the best possible ongoing link between previous up- and downstream nodes.
Muting previously used a complicated callback system to ensure consistent behavior in the editor as well as execution in compositor, shader cpu/gpu and texture nodes. This has been greatly simplified by moving the muting step into the node tree localization functions. Any muted node is now bypassed using the generalized nodeInternalRelink function and then removed from the local tree. This way the internal execution system doesn't have to deal with muted nodes at all, as if they are non-existent.
The same function is also used by the delete_reconnect and the new links_detach operators (which work directly in the editor node tree). Detaching nodes is currently keymapped as a translation variant (macro operator): pressing ALTKEY + moving node first detaches and then continues with regular transform operator. The default key is ALT+DKEY though, instead ALT+GKEY, since the latter is already used for the ungroup operator.
* made bmesh_structure.h function names more consistant.
* remove unused code in bmesh_structure.c
* removed 'Edge Flip' operator (missing from bmesh but looked into trunk feature and dont think its worth keeping).
* tagged some BMESH_TODO's
so registering them seems to be kind of useless because things like deleting
edge loops with Shift-R command is impossible.
This commit will resolve issue #30375: Loop Select should not become a Redo History Item.
On a place, Ctrl+T, Fkey would create a quad overlapping the 2 Tris.
Now this case is checked for in a general way - if the bounds of the face are already filled in with faces (that _only_ use these edges-verts), then dont create the face.
This is an option for the 'edgenet_fill' operator, since creating the face isnt incorrect, just not-what-you-want mostly.
added functions
* BM_edge_share_vert - returns shared vert between 2 edges.
* BM_face_exists_multi, BM_face_exists_multi_edge - check if existing faces fill the edge bounds.
* also add BM_ELEM_INTERNAL_TAG so low level functions can tag without conflicting with higher level functions that also rely on tagging elements.
rather then recalc polygon normals - solidify is simple enough to just flip the normals of the copied faces, the rim faces normals are already re-calculated so copy them.
