Fixes #3883.
Select one or more elements. The backend produces polyfaces from their geometry. We create a ClipVector from those polyfaces and apply it to the view.
TODO:
Add support for applying an offset to the polyfaces to expand them outward@EarlinLutz has WIP API on EDL/MeshOffset branch - not yet available.Ideally, do this in a WebWorkerfor demo purposes probably won't bother.Add a keyin to configure the tolerances, mesh offset, and decomposition parameters.meh.An API to ask whether a polyface is already convex, to avoid potentially expensive decomposition?none such exists.
