Someone reported this problem to me, I can't check, at the university we use linux...
Hum... hannibar...
I think it's about four times faster to select one face than four vertices.... no?

So, here you find an integration of the xMesh library into blender.
More in the blend file in the setup. Cubic unwrapper of course included.
Linux version is available on request.

Try deselecting all faces before getting back from editmode - this should be faster. The reason is, that it prints out a lot of debugging crap on the console - on windows, this makes blender freeze for a while, because that stdout output seems not to be very fast...hannibar wrote:Great stuff.
I have one question though. What is the actual advantage of using this mesh editing system instead of the current one (besides the undo)? In the current one you can select faces and edges too, by selcting 2,3 or 4 vertices and do the same operations.
Another thing is that sometimes when you go out of editmode in shmender, it takes a while. The window freezes meanwhile. This happens especially when you select a few things. I tried selecting all faces, and it took a few seconds to get out of editmode...
I've heard about the winged edge stuff from Wings, but I have neither looked at its architecture nor played with wings. Winged edge sounds to me like an edge having pointers to its adjacent faces.AndyDavis wrote:Nice work. I have had a little thread going on in the bf-committers mailing list about where blender goes next for modeling.
The tenuous conclusion is that being able to support some kind of winged edge format will allow the development of a host of more advanced modeling tools.
Looking at this, it seems that you have a good starting point for that kind of effort. Is this conclusion warranted? Would you be interested in participating in such an effort?
Feel free to reply here, bf-committers, or e-mail me privately.
Thanks,
