Automatic arch wall extrusion direction

[Roy_043]

The calculated normal is correct IMO.

OK, noted, thanks mentoring


On get_normal(), I would somehow skip checking view direction for the purpose discussed in this thread.

Code: Select all

def get_normal(shape, tol=-1):
...
    Default behaviour :

    If the Gui is up the normal is checked against the current view direction.
    If it points away from the viewer it is reversed.
...

    if App.GuiUp:
        v_dir = gui_utils.get_3d_view().getViewDirection()
        # TODO < math.pi/2 or < 0.78
        if normal.getAngle(v_dir) < math.pi/2:
            normal = normal.negative()

Just use get_shape_normal instead of get_normal then.

Would someone please test before I make a PR

EDIT - Thanks, Roy_043, basically your codes.
