- use SMOOTH flag for edges (removed sharp flag and inverted), gives us an extra flag slot available.
- rename BM_edge_is_nonmanifold --> BM_edge_is_manifold and invert result, BM_vert_is_nonmanifold too.
This is a kind of simplification/cleanup tool which joins adjacent faces and edges based on the angle.
I've written this as an exercise (since I havnt written a bmesh operator before), and because quite a few users were asking for the dissolve operator to be extended, but I think this kind of functionality needs its own operator.
access from specials menu and mesh menu.
notes
* this exposed a bug in angle_v3v3v3(). will merge fix into trunk after release.
* added utility function BM_vert_edge_angle(), to get the angle between 2 connecting edges of a vert.
added BM_mesh_elem_flag_enable_all (only had disable function), and add
argunt for vert/edge/face type.
use these functions from EDBM_flag_enable/disable_all (had duplicate
code).
`_set` suffix was used in two ways (confusing)
* to set a flag to be enabled.
* to set a value passed as an argument.
now use enable/disable rather then set/clear for functions which change flags.
also remove BME_weld.c, the file didnt contain much code and the current extrude works well
* add DM_to_bmesh_ex, DM_to_bmesh for converting a derived mesh to a BMesh (rather than a BMEditMesh)
* have a generic variable for allocsize: bm_mesh_allocsize_default, rather than copying the values about.
These changes are to make the bmesh api more consistent and easier to learn, grouping similar functions which is convenient for autocomplete.
This uses similar convention to RNA.
* use face/loop/edge/vert as a prefix for functions.
* use 'elem' as a prefix too for functions that can take any type with a BMHeader.
* changed from camel case to underscore separated (like RNA).
* even offset, uses same shell distance method as solidify to give even with beveled faces.
* distance offset, this is mostly for compatibility with the modifier in trunk which uses the bevel width as a distance rather then a percentage. at the moment this is awkward for the operator since it makes percent act differently where the 0-1 range doesnt make sense.
still need to bring back more options from trunks bevel modifier.
