EditMesh refactory + undo recode The changelog is very long... it's on the web too: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Mesh_editing_rewrite.425.0.html EditMesh refactor notes (user) **** New selection modes When entering Edit Mode for a Mesh, you now have the choice for three selection modes. These are shown as icons in the 3D header (hotkey is being searched for!). - Vertex Select Select vertices as usual, fully compatible with how previous version work - Edge Select Vertices are not drawn anymore, and selections happen by default on the edges. It is a true edge select, meaning that you can select three out of four edges in a face, without automatic having the 4th edge selected. - Face Select Instead of vertices, now selection 'points' are drawn in the face centers. Selected faces also get a colored outline, like for edges. This also is true face select, for each face individual regardless selection status of its vertices or edges. While holding SHIFT, and press a selection mode, you can also combine the above choices. Now selection becomes mixed, and will behave as expected. For example; in Edge+Face select mode, selecting the 4 edges of a face will select the face too. The selection modes and optional drawing modes (like transparant faces, normals, or solid drawing) all work together. All of Blender's mesh editing tools now react to the correct selection mode as well. Most noticeable it's in: **** Extrude Extruding in Edge or Face Select mode allows much more precise control over what's extruded and what should be excluded. Try for example a checker pattern selection, and extrude it. New is the fixed translation when faces are extruded. This always follows the (averaged) face normal(s) of the old face(s), enabling much easier working in 3D views . A single 'G' (Grab) or 'R' (Rotate) or 'S' (Scale) will change transform modus as usual. **** Other things to note - Hiding edges/faces will also behave different based on Select Mode. - while editing, normals of faces are updated always now - Border select (BKEY) has 2 different rules for edges; when one edge is fully inside of the border, it will only select edges that are fully inside. Otherwise it selects each edge intersecting with the border. - in face mode, adding vertices, edges or a circle is invisible... - "Add monkey" now works as a normal primitive (rotated and on 3d cursor) - Mesh undo was fully recoded, hopefully solving issues now with Vertex Keys and Groups - Going in and out of editmode was fully recoded. Especially on larger models you'll notice substantial speed gain. **** Todo Add 'FaceSelect mode' functionality in EditMode, including zbuffered selection, display and editing of UV texture. EditMesh refactor notes (coder) **** Usage of flags in general The "->f" flags are reserved for the editmesh.c and editmesh_lib.c core functions. Actually only selection status is there now. The "->f1" and "->f2" flags are free to use. They're available in vertex/edge/face structs. Since they're free, check carefully when calling other functions that use these flags... for example extrude() or subdivide() use them. **** Selection flags EditVert: eve->f & SELECT EditEdge: eed->f & SELECT EditFace: efa->f & SELECT - Selection is only possible when not-hidden! - Selection flags are always up-to-date, BUT: if selection mode >= SELECT_EDGE vertex selection flags can be incorrect if selection mode == SELECT_FACE vertex/edge selection flags can be incorrect This because of shared vertices or edges. - use for selecting vertices: eve->f &= SELECT - use for selecting edges always: void EM_select_edge(eed, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect - use for selecting faces always: void EM_select_face(efa, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect - To set the 'f' flags in all of the data: void EM_set_flag_all(int flag); void EM_clear_flag_all(int flag); - the old faceselectedOR() and faceselectedAND() are still there, but only to be used for evaluating its vertices **** Code hints for handling selection If the selectmode is 'face'; vertex or edge selections need to be flushed upward. Same is true for 'edge' selection mode. This means that you'll have to keep track of all selections while coding... selecting the four vertices in a face doesn't automatically select the face anymore. However, by using the above calls, at least selections flush downward (to vertex level). You then can call: void EM_selectmode_flush(void); Which flushes selections back upward, based on the selectmode setting. This function does the following: - if selectmode 'vertex': select edges/faces based on its selected vertices - if selectmode 'edge': select faces based its selected edges This works fine in nice controlled situations. However, only changing the vertex selections then still doesn't select a face in face mode! If you really can't avoid only working with vertex selections, you can use this call: void EM_select_flush(void); Now selection is flushed upward regardless current selectmode. That can be destructive for special cases however, like checkerboard selected faces. So use this only when you know everything else was deselected (or deselect it). Example: adding primitives. **** Hide flags EditVert: eve->h EditEdge: eed->h EditFace: efa->h - all hide flags are always up-to-date - hidden vertices/edges/faces are always deselected. so when you operate on selection only, there's no need to check for hide flag. **** Unified undo for editmode New file: editmode_undo.h A pretty nice function pointer handler style undo. Just code three functions, and your undo will fly! The c file has a good reference. Also note that the old undo system has been replaced. It currently uses minimal dependencies on Meshes themselves (no abuse of going in/out editmode), and is restricted nicely to editmode functions. **** Going in/out editmode As speedup now all vertices/faces/edges are allocated in three big chunks. In vertices/faces/edges now tags are set to denote such data cannot be freed. ALso the hashtable (lookup) for edges uses no mallocs at all anymore, but is part of the EditEdge itself.

Adding Knife tool as to be released in 2.3 User Info: To use this tool, select a group of verts, it can be larger than the desired cut as explained below. Then hit Shift-K. The tool will prompt for cut type (Exact line or Edge centers), Select, then use LMB to draw a "cut-line". Holding down LMB causes a freehand draw, clicking LMB causes a polyline draw. MMB locks the axis. When done press enter to divide mesh on cut line. Subdivide routines have been modified to produce fewer triangles as part of this tool. Edge Centers preserves UV info, Exact Line does not (it will be there, just slightly distorted). Since the cut line exists in 2D space, and does not make a persistant selection that can be modified in another 3D view, the knife selection is the AND of the vertex selection and the knife line, ie; the edge will be subdivided only if both verts are selected, and the knife line crosses the edge. Select your verts first, but you don't have to be overly precise. If you want to cut a few faces on the front of a sphere, you can select the whole front of the sphere, then knife the faces you want. Coder Info: KnifeSubdivide is called with 1 of 3 modes. KNIFE_PROMPT, KNIFE_EXACT, KNIFE_MIDPOINTS. The hotkey calls KNIFE_PROMPT. When adding to a menu or button, explicitly call out the mode. Part of the tool provides get_mouse_trail() that returns a CutCurve struct that defines a knife line. There are modes defined, but currently they are not implimented. Another part of this tool defines new behaviour for subdivideflag(). Setting beauty param to B_KNIFE tells subdivideflag() that the edges are preselected ans to skip the vert check. Also setting B_PERCENTSUB tells subdivideflag() to divide the edge at a percentage of the distance from eed->v1 to eed->v2. This percentage is passed in the eed->f1 flag as a short (ie, setting eed->f1 to 16384 cuts the edge half-way).

Since they're free, check carefully when calling other functions that use these flags... for example extrude() or subdivide() use them. **** Selection flags EditVert: eve->f & SELECT EditEdge: eed->f & SELECT EditFace: efa->f & SELECT - Selection is only possible when not-hidden! - Selection flags are always up-to-date, BUT: if selection mode >= SELECT_EDGE vertex selection flags can be incorrect if selection mode == SELECT_FACE vertex/edge selection flags can be incorrect This because of shared vertices or edges. - use for selecting vertices: eve->f &= SELECT - use for selecting edges always: void EM_select_edge(eed, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect - use for selecting faces always: void EM_select_face(efa, 1) // 1 = select, 0 = deselect - To set the 'f' flags in all of the data: void EM_set_flag_all(int flag); void EM_clear_flag_all(int flag); - the old faceselectedOR() and faceselectedAND() are still there, but only to be used for evaluating its vertices **** Code hints for handling selection If the selectmode is 'face'; vertex or edge selections need to be flushed upward. Same is true for 'edge' selection mode. This means that you'll have to keep track of all selections while coding... selecting the four vertices in a face doesn't automatically select the face anymore. However, by using the above calls, at least selections flush downward (to vertex level). You then can call: void EM_selectmode_flush(void); Which flushes selections back upward, based on the selectmode setting. This function does the following: - if selectmode 'vertex': select edges/faces based on its selected vertices - if selectmode 'edge': select faces based its selected edges This works fine in nice controlled situations. However, only changing the vertex selections then still doesn't select a face in face mode! If you really can't avoid only working with vertex selections, you can use this call: void EM_select_flush(void); Now selection is flushed upward regardless current selectmode. That can be destructive for special cases however, like checkerboard selected faces. So use this only when you know everything else was deselected (or deselect it). Example: adding primitives. **** Hide flags EditVert: eve->h EditEdge: eed->h EditFace: efa->h - all hide flags are always up-to-date - hidden vertices/edges/faces are always deselected. so when you operate on selection only, there's no need to check for hide flag. **** Unified undo for editmode New file: editmode_undo.h A pretty nice function pointer handler style undo. Just code three functions, and your undo will fly! The c file has a good reference. Also note that the old undo system has been replaced. It currently uses minimal dependencies on Meshes themselves (no abuse of going in/out editmode), and is restricted nicely to editmode functions. **** Going in/out editmode As speedup now all vertices/faces/edges are allocated in three big chunks. In vertices/faces/edges now tags are set to denote such data cannot be freed. ALso the hashtable (lookup) for edges uses no mallocs at all anymore, but is part of the EditEdge itself.

Adding Knife tool as to be released in 2.3 User Info: To use this tool, select a group of verts, it can be larger than the desired cut as explained below. Then hit Shift-K. The tool will prompt for cut type (Exact line or Edge centers), Select, then use LMB to draw a "cut-line". Holding down LMB causes a freehand draw, clicking LMB causes a polyline draw. MMB locks the axis. When done press enter to divide mesh on cut line. Subdivide routines have been modified to produce fewer triangles as part of this tool. Edge Centers preserves UV info, Exact Line does not (it will be there, just slightly distorted). Since the cut line exists in 2D space, and does not make a persistant selection that can be modified in another 3D view, the knife selection is the AND of the vertex selection and the knife line, ie; the edge will be subdivided only if both verts are selected, and the knife line crosses the edge. Select your verts first, but you don't have to be overly precise. If you want to cut a few faces on the front of a sphere, you can select the whole front of the sphere, then knife the faces you want. Coder Info: KnifeSubdivide is called with 1 of 3 modes. KNIFE_PROMPT, KNIFE_EXACT, KNIFE_MIDPOINTS. The hotkey calls KNIFE_PROMPT. When adding to a menu or button, explicitly call out the mode. Part of the tool provides get_mouse_trail() that returns a CutCurve struct that defines a knife line. There are modes defined, but currently they are not implimented. Another part of this tool defines new behaviour for subdivideflag(). Setting beauty param to B_KNIFE tells subdivideflag() that the edges are preselected ans to skip the vert check. Also setting B_PERCENTSUB tells subdivideflag() to divide the edge at a percentage of the distance from eed->v1 to eed->v2. This percentage is passed in the eed->f1 flag as a short (ie, setting eed->f1 to 16384 cuts the edge half-way).

Big commit, had to rework lots of selection stuff so that things worked properly with modifiers. Needs more testing I am sure. No, honestly, I wasn't just cleaning for the hell of it, it was *necessary* (I would never do such a thing). Selection should work completely with cage options of modifiers now. - added DerivedMesh foreach functions to iterate over mapped verts/edges/face centers. These replaced some of the drawing functions and are more general anyway. Special edge drawing functions remain for performance reasons. - removed EditFace xs, ys fields - added general functions to iterate over screen coordinates of mesh/curve/lattice objects - removed all calc_*verts* functions that were used for storing screen coordinates in objects. they were recalc'd on the fly for most situations anyway, so now we just always do that. calc_*verts_ext was one of those calls that did dirty things deep down in the callstack (changing curarea and poking at matrices) - rewrote all vertex level selection routines (circle, lasso, bbox) and closest vertex routines (rightmouse select) to use the new system. This cleaned up the selection code a lot and the structure of selection is much easier to see now. This is good for future work on allowing modifiers to completely override the selection system. It also points out some discrepancies in the way selection is handled that might be nice to resolve (mesh vertex selection has fancy stuff to try to help with selecting overlapping, but it only works w/o bbuf select, and curves/lattices don't have at all). - had to remove ton's code to move Manipulator to cage location, this is not reliable (can come up with a different method if requested) - as it happens BezTriple.s and BPoint.s are basically available to be removed, just need to rewrite editipo code that still does background calc of screen coordinates - MVert.{xs,ys} are still around because they are abused in some places for other info (not sure if this is safe actually, since they are short's and the mvert limit went up). And did I mention this commit is comes out to -305 lines? Well it does.
