This matches the change that was done to the bevel modifier so that the
interface for the modifier, the active tool, and the operator are consistent.
This commit extends the refactor to the bmesh implementation too, so
that the parameters in the implementation don't stray too far from what
is exposed.
Tests are adjusted and still pass.
These changes are smaller, made based on feedback and a pass on all
the layouts for clarity and consistency. The Multires modifier UI will
be addressed in a separate patch. Here is an overview of the changes:
Renaming Options:
- Build: "Start" -> "Start Frame"
- Curve: "From Radius" -> "Size from Radius"
- Screw: "Calc Order" -> "Calculate Order"
- Displace, Warp, Wave: "Texture Coordinates Object" -> "Object"
Move Mode Toggle to Top & Expand:
- Bevel, Boolean, Normal Edit, Subdivision
Use Columns for Tighter Spacing:
- Displace, Explode, Ocean, Particle Instance, Remesh, Shrinkwrap,
Solidify, Warp, Weighted Normal, Wave
Misc:
- Bevel: Set inactive properties for vertex bevel
- Mesh Sequence Cache: Remove box for cache file
- Skin: Don't align "Mark Loose" and "Clear Loose"
- Array: Expand relative offset subpanel by default
- Array: Move start cap, end cap to a new subpanel
- Bevel: Move width type above width

This will allow the easier addition of a constant radius mode in the
future and some changes in the UI to mirror the recent similar change
from "Only Vertices" to the "Affect" enum.
This mode is like Percent, but measures absolute distance along
adjacent edges instead of a percentage.
So, for example, if you use this mode with 2 segments and profile=1,
you will see the length that the bevel moves along unbeveled edges
between beveled ones will match the value specified.
Many users seem to expect this behavior, even though it means the
bevel width is uneven, so this option is for them.
This is part of a greater blenloader decentralization effort (T76372).
For modifiers the goal is that fewer files have to be modified when
a new modifier is added.
This patch just adds the `blendWrite` and `blendRead` callbacks to
`ModifierTypeInfo` but does not change any other code yet. In the next
steps, modifier specific code will be moved from `writefile.c` and
`readfile.c` into their corresponding `MOD_*` files.
Because this controls how the amount is used in should be set first and
is more important therefor place it at the top.
This is also consistent with other areas in Blender
This patch implements the list panel system D7490 for modifiers.
It also moves modifier drawing to a callback in ModifierTypeInfo
in line with the extensible architecture refactoring goal T75724.
This adds a PanelRegister callback and utilities for registering
panels and subpanels. It also adds the callbacks for expansion saving
and drag and drop reordering described in D7490.
These utilities, callbacks, and other common UI elements shared
between modifiers live in MOD_ui_common.c.
Because modifier buttons are now in panels, we can make use of
subpanels for organization. The UI layouts also use the single
column layout style consistently used elsewhere in Blender.
Additionally, the mode-setting buttons are aligned and ordered
consistently with the outliner.
However, the large number of UI changes in this patch may mean
that additional polishing is required in master.
Thanks to William Reynish (@billreynish) who did a fair amount of the
layout work and to Julian Eisel (@Severin) for consistent help.

There is no user visible difference in standard builds, as there are no
volume modifiers yet. When using WITH_NEW_OBJECT_TYPES some deform only
modifiers are now available for hair and pointcloud objects.

- Use 'BKE_object_defgroup' prefix for object functions.
- Rename 'defvert_verify_index' to 'defvert_ensure_index'
since this adds the group if it isn't found.
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.

Modifier stack evaluation would copy mesh settings other than mesh topology
automatically, outside of the individual modifier evaluation. This leads to hard
to understand code, and makes it unclear which settings are available in following
modifiers, and which only after the entire stack is evaluated.
Now every modifier is responsible to ensure the mesh it outputs preserves materials,
texture space and other settings, or alters them as needed.
Fixes T64739: incorrect texture space for various modifiers

The general idea of this change is to have a runtime data pointer
in the ModifierData, so it can be preserved through copy-on-write
updates by the dependency graph.
This is where subdivision surface modifier can store its topology
cache, so it is not getting trashed on every copy-on-write which
is happening when moving a vertex.
Similar mechanism should be used by multiresolution, dynamic paint
and some other modifiers which cache evaluated data.
This fixes T61746.
Thing to keep in mind, that there are more reports about slow
subdivision surface in the tracker, but that boils down to the
fact that those have a lot of extraordinary vertices, and hence
a lot slower to evaluated topology.
Other thing is, this speeds up oeprations which doesn't change
topology (i.e. moving vertices).

We already have different storages for cddata of verts, edges etc.,
'simply' do the same for the mask flags we use all around Blender code
to request some data, or limit some operation to some layers, etc.
Reason we need this is that some cddata types (like Normals) are
actually shared between verts/polys/loops, and we don’t want to generate
clnors everytime we request vnors!
As a side note, this also does final fix to T59338, which was the
trigger for this patch (need to request computed loop normals for
another mesh than evaluated one).

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.
The units scaling was inappropriate when the bevel value was
to be interpreted as a percent, so added a separate rna property
for "Width Percent" and made UI show the width appropriate for
current offset_type.
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.
