+ improve PropertyMaterialList::readString
+ fix transparency handling in ViewProviderPartExt
+ do not register the private member '_diffuseColor' as property because it would be exposed to the
public where it can be modified
+ fix ViewProviderPartExt::finishRestoring() to correctly restore old project files
+ fix ViewProviderPartExt::setHighlightedFaces() to correctly show face colours if VBO is enabled
+ fix ViewProviderBoolean::updateData()
fix ViewProviderMultiFuse::updateData()
fix ViewProviderMultiCommon::updateData()
fix ViewProviderCompound::updateData()
fix ViewProviderFillet::updateData()
fix ViewProviderChamfer::updateData()
that all set invalid transparency values
+ Filter ShapeAppearance in ViewProviderBody::unifyVisualProperty
because body features usually have different number of faces than the body itself
+ manually fix some bad looking auto-formatted code
+ clean up code and remove duplicated code
Improves the use of the ShapeAppearance property for the Part workbench.
removes DiffuseColor property
adds Python compatibility using custom attributes
transitions DiffuseColor to ShapeAppearance on open
Improved UI elements for setting object appearance, and appearance per face
Lays the foundation for future texture support
Uses new material system for appearance
Each feature object now has a property called ShapeMaterial that
describes its physical properties. If it has a shape, it has a
material.
The ShapeColor attribute is replaced by a ShapeAppearance attribute.
This is a material list that describes all appearance properties, not
just diffuse color. As a list in can be used for all elements of a
shape, such as edges and faces.
A new widget is provided to allow the user to select materials in a
consistent fashion. It can also launch the material editor with its
more advanced capabilities.
The path to the icons is added to `AppPartGui.cpp`
using `Gui::BitmapFactory().addPath()`, so the icons are found
automatically in their new directories.
Because Gui::ViewProviderLink can be used to override the view provider
of any object, it is not safe to assume view provider type without
explicit checking.
* Added Part::Feature::getTopoShape/getShape() function that can obtain
shape from any object with proper implementation of getSubObject(). It
can even construct compound from group object with proper implementation
of getSubObjects().
* Modified ViewProviderExt to work on any object, because it now obtain
the shape using Part::Feature::getShape()
* Modified various Part features to obtain base/tool shapes using
Part::getShape(), which allows them to be any type of object,
including Link and groups.
* Modified various Part command to relax type requirement on selected
objects.
* Add support of link and group to dimension, and add dimension refresh
command
* Support link and group in simple command command, and add a few more
copy command variations.
* Add special handling of 'Shape' attribute in PropertyContainerPy and
use Part::Feature::getShape() to return shape for any object without
Shape property. This allows many python feature work with any object
without modification.
* GeometrySurface/CurvePy, add convenience attribute 'Rotation'
* TopoShapePy:
* Extended support of sub shape attribute, e.g. Compound1, Solid2,
SubShape3 ('SubShape' is used to access child shape of a compound)
* makeWires(), new API to sort and return wires given a list of edges.
* transformed/translated/rotated/scaled(), return a new shape with
some transformation.
* findPlane(), find the plane of a planar shape
* isCoplanar(), check if two shape are coplanar
See bug description:
https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D/coin/pull-requests/119/fix-sochildlist-auditing/diff
Because of path based rendering (SoFCPathAnnotation) in mouse over
highlight, this bug causes crash more frequently here comparing to
upstream.
All C++ calling of SoGroup::removeAllChildren() is replaced by
Gui::coinRemoveAllChildren(), and python code is fixed by monkey
patching SoGroup.removeAllChildren() in FreeCADGuiInit.py.
Move from float to double

RuledSurface fixes,
claim children
correct tool tip
change default name from "Filled_shape" to "Ruled Surface"
Part_Mirror
Switched icon in the tool bar, menu, and tree from
the existing PNG icon to the also existing SVG icon
Part_Mirror now shows its child shape in the tree under
the newly created Mirror Feature. On deletion it's
child shape is set to show (if it had been hidden). Thus
making its behaviour and appearance consistant with other
Part tools, E.G. Part Fillet, Part Loft, etc.
