PR#2966 MillFace Improvements

Post by Wsk8 »

Hello

since i'm very unsatisfied with the current MillFace op, i modified it to also clear the edges.

Before alot of stock was left by the op:

I added the option "Clear Edges", which takes the tool radius and extends the facing operation:

Currently this works only on "Boundary"-Mode. I'd like to apply it also to "Stock", but hadn't success so far.

I also noticed, that the GUI for the op is pretty outdated. Would be great if someone could update it.
