Now the bevel tool, modifier, and internal operator have a material
slot # parameter that the user can set. If left at default of -1,
behavior is as current -- bevel face material is taken from the
closest original face (this may be ambiguous). If material slot
is >= 0, it gives the material slot index number for the material
to use.
If the side of a beveled edge hit another vertex, the offset
amount reset to zero. This was the result of commit rB1582dd5e4d7c
which clamped the amount to zero to avoid creating spikes with
obtuse angles. Now we clamp the amount to the closest end of
the edge to where the amount wants to be.
Also fixes the first part of T40365.
With very small meshes or very small bevel amounts, the bevel
profile would be flat even if a round one was requested.
Problem was that the code was checking the length of a cross
product for closeness to zero to test coplanarity. Needed
to normalize things before making that test to account for scale.
When doing a 'weld' type join where there are two non-beveled edges
in the same plane one beveled one but not the other, then there
should be a curved profile; bug was creating a straight one.
Used a different technique to resolve "impossible" offset cases
that makes more consistency. Also changed the plane in which
the profile lies for the case with only one beveled edge and
more than 3 other edges.
When rebuilding the polygons that touch bevel-involved vertices,
need to copy the edge attributes from corresponding original edges.
Special treatment of corner segments, to maintain continuity of
smooth and seam attributes.
Another fix: if have four meeting edges, two opposite ones beveled
and the other two not, propgate the non-beveled-edges attributes
across the line that joins them (perpendicular to the bevel).
This updates the fix in rB27db75363, which had to be undone
because it broke other bevels.
It also fixes cases where edges went away went doing vertex
bevel on vertices with some wire edges.
The test for wire edges when reattaching was wrong, because
some newly made edges are wire at the point of the test.
This made some duplicate edges.
Need to track the original wire edges a different way.
Now code explicity excludes wire edges from beveling
and reattaches the wire edges to one of the newly
created vertices after beveling.
Also fixes a bug where vertex-beveling a wire-edge-only
vertex would not reattach the wire edges.
Last change to bevel had a check for what was supposed
to be an "on edge" new vertex being off the edge.
The test tolerance was too small. This fixes that.
There needed to be a check that when a newly created point is
supposed to be on an edge, that it stays within the bounds
of either end of the edge.
This fixes the hole-in-cube example in the bug, but not
the boolean modifier one, which still needs more work.
The test for a reflex angle used the vertex normal,
which was not a good test for a saddle point vertex.
Switched to using the face normal, if available, for that test.
Also added test for this in svn bevel_regression.blend.
The "pipe" case -- where two beveled edges are in line
and there is at least one more beveled edge -- needed better
handling when profile parameter = 1.0 (square outward).
The method for calculating points on the profile for non-circles
and non-lines meant that the segments making up an edge had
uneven widths.
Use a numeric search technique to find superellipse evaluation
points that lead to equal-sized chords across the profile.
Also calculate the actual profile points sooner, so that they
don't have to be recalculated again and again.
This also sets up for a possible later feature of arbitrary
profile shapes, set by user.
With new subdivision method for making the vertex mesh, we always
subdivide the edges between the new vertices around a vertex
(we used to not subdivide edges between two non-beveled edges).
This fixes a bug related to this change.
Vertex bevel was completely messed up after last change,
and this fixes.
'Weld' bevels, where there are exactly two beveled edges
meeting at a vertex, now look better in cases where one
of the beveled edges is on a flat plane.
It is better to keep the profile as it is perpedicular
to the edge, and then project it onto a given plane
at the corners. Also fixed the interpolation to a
different number of segments when the profile is not
round.
