Select operator that takes multiple selected face regions and
selects any number of matching regions (when they have distinguishing features to isolate them).
UI access next.
Modeling tool to cut intersections into geometry (like boolean, without calculating inside/outside).
Faces are split along intersections, leaving new edges selected.
Access from Face menu.
Quads: Beauty, Fixed, Fixed Alternate, Shortest Diagonal
Ngons: Beauty, Scanfill
* Shortest Diagonal is the default method in the modifier (popular
elsewhere), but beauty is the default in Ctrl+T).
* Remove the need for output slot and beauty operator to be called
after Clt+T
Patch with collaborations and reviewed by Campbell Barton
cuts the mesh in half based on the cursor location and the viewport,
optionally supports filling the cut area (with uvs. vcols, etc),
and removing geometry on either side of the cut.
Forward enum declaration is a bad idea, especially for C++ which requires
enum specification to dteermine which data type to use to store it.
Alternative would be to not use enum as an arument and pass it as int,
but actually would rather be strict on typing -- using explicit enum
as parameter type helps understanding the code and prevents possible
mistakes when using the function.
Update from a script I had in 2.4x, useful if you have mesh data which is _almost_ symmetrical,
there was no good way to automatically make the minor adjustments to make the mesh fully symmetrical.
Options for...
- symmetry-axis.
- blending between the +/- side.
- center mid verts.
Access from Mesh menu.
Was using edge-slide & remove-doubles but this was error prone since remove doubles could fail in some cases or find doubles where it shouldn't (with very small scale objects).
This gives more predictable behavior when the edges of a loop wouldnt slide (in that case they would just drag over to one of the sides with no user control)
and multiple edge loops work better too. eg:
- http://www.graphicall.org/ftp/ideasman42/edge_loop_del_update.png
- Ctrl+RMB only worked for edges & faces
- Menu item 'Select Shortest Path' only worked for vertices.
Now Ctrl+RMB works for vertices and the menu item works for verts/edges/faces (depending on the current selection).
by Francisco De La Cruz (xercesblue), with some of my own changes/improvements.
Converts faces to triangle-fans (useful to run on ngons).
To access select a group of faces and press "Alt+P" or alternatively select the operator from the Faces menu (Ctrl+F)

Partly reverted changes to intern/cycles/blender/addon/ui.py in revision 52899

Resolved conflicts:

Also updated source/blender/blenkernel/intern/linestyle.c as a follow-up of
recent changes for the use of bool.
other selection operators. Instead of having only a single "extend"
option which causes the selection to toggle, there are now
three options:
- extend: adds to selection
- deselect: removes from selection
- toggle: toggles the selection
The default keymap is adjusted to have identical behavior as before,
using these new options, so end-users shouldn't experience any
difference.

Thanks Thomas (dingto) for the timely fix!
- Rename 'mesh.select_nth' operator menu item 'Every N Number of Verts' to 'Checker Deselect',
since its not just de-selecting verts (works on edges and faces too) and the term 'checker' gives a better description of the result.
- Rename 'mesh.select_by_number_vertices' to 'mesh.select_face_by_sides', since this is a face selection tool, which wasnt obvious from its name.
also remove dissolve by type menu since the option has been removed from the operator and was giving an error.
