The pointer is causing issues since two objects can share an edit-mesh,
removing in stages, see T72848.
Also fixes the material index being clamped by every object.
Custom profiles in bevel allows the profile curve to be controlled by
manually placed control points. Orientation is regularized along
groups of edges, and the 'pipe case' is updated. This commit includes
many updates to comments and changed variable names as well.
A 'cutoff' vertex mesh method is added to bevel in addition to the
existing grid fill option for replacing vertices.
The UI of the bevel modifier and tool are updated and unified.
Also, a 'CurveProfile' widget is added to BKE for defining the profile
in the interface, which may be useful in other situations.
Many thanks to Howard, my mentor for this GSoC project.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D5516
Cheap tip: anything that is not "Camel Case" and/or that is more than
a few words long should use `TIP_` translation, not `IFACE_` one.
Also added several missing strings (including the one reported in D5056
by Jean First (@robbott), thanks).
- Add missing tooltips to Quick Effects and Subdivide Edge Ring
- Add proper tooltip to the Bevel operator
- Clearer tooltips for the extrude operators
Plus a few other tweaks
Suggested by users on Devtalk.
Commit 208fafb to fix bevel tool units included a change to always
start modal in offset mode. This was may or may not be right but
broke a way in which users could set percent mode and then subsequently
start a modal that bevels in that mode. So going back to old way.
The mouse movement scale needed adjusting according to object scale,
since the amount is on the unscaled model but the viewport shows the
scaled one.
Also fixed proper units for amounts in bevel tool, as was already
done for modifier. Percent should be comfortably adjustable by mouse.
When modal map was introduced, left out handling of what
happens when bevel is made active tool in toolbar and user
starts bevel by clicking and dragging.
Also added keys for toggling harden normals,
and cycling through miter types.
Still to do: add some shortcuts for affecting the
spread value for arc miters.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
Will document the new options in release notes, then in manual.
Still a bit of work to do on the bulging shape that appears
on cube corners if using arc inner miters, but will do that later.
Also need to do something smarter in clamp overlap.
Harden normals causes normal splitting, which will not give the
appearance expected due to autosmooth unless some edges are sharpened,
so this change fixes that. Also bevel tool will turn on autosmooth
if not already on if hardening normals.
Move the bevel hardening code all into bmesh_bevel.c.
Based on user feedback, rewrote the bevel hardening algorithm
to be more what users want.
Based on user feedback, changed the UI, removing some
not-useful options. Now hardening normals while beveling
is enabled by a simple checkbox.
Now setting face strength gives options for which faces
get their face strength set.
Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
There are now 3 categories in the overlay popover:
- Navigation
- Active (camera, lamp... etc)
- Tool (manipulator)
The user preference for mini axis now controls if the mini axis
displays minimal or a full-interactive widget.
Part of design: T55863
Key shortcuts and explanation about how to use the tool should go to the
status bar, but other info can in the header so it's near where the user
is working. This distinction has not been made yet for all operators.
