Dialogs to view the Appearance and Material properties of an object
These inspectors are intended to be used when debugging Appearance and
Material issues in a model.
The Appearance inspector displays the appearance properties of an
object. This will be more useful once PR 13792 is merged which migrates
parts to use ShapeAppearance instead of DiffuseColor. This shows each
of the appearance properties per face for the object.
The Material inspector shows the material, models, and properties
assigned to a model. It displays useful debugging information such as
the UUID and file paths associated with eacch of the items. This is
useful when finding and resolving model conflicts.
The material inspector now gives the option of copying the information
to the clipboard.
at the moment the sorting is confusing, the sorting in the menu differs from the toolbars and some features even belong in the menu to another category than in the toolbars and one feature has not yet a toolbar entry
This PR implements a uniform sorting for the menu and toolbar and adds the missing toolbar icon
According to the source this command was deactivated until issue #0477
and hence #1954 could be solved. However, since those issues
haven't been addressed the command has remained hidden for a long time.
This command does not work with objects that reimplement
their edit modes, meaning that it may work with Part and PartDesign
created objects but not with Draft and Arch objects.
The command is added to the standard `View` menu,
and to one `Part tools` toolbar so that it is no longer hidden.
The limitations of the command can be described in the documentation,
and then somebody else can help solve the problem
with the edit modes.
A new icon for the command is also provided.
The path to the icons is added to `AppPartGui.cpp`
using `Gui::BitmapFactory().addPath()`, so the icons are found
automatically in their new directories.
* 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

Not sure what is happening with View3dInventorViewer.h.
The only REAL change, beyond the addition of dim functions, is
the removal of the member arrowrotation. It wasn't referenced anywhere.
