Trim Multiple

[zeffii]

• Select a collection of edges
• Any edge that touches at least one other edge via intersection can be clicked and removed.

Similar to this AutoCAD / DraftSight workflow

functionality seems to be

part 1

• make initial selection
• start operator
• store all selected edges in k_list
• hide selected edges
• perform mass intersection on k_list
• store intersections as new f_list
• draw f_list with bgl dashed lines

part 2

• unlike autoCAD, user can pick any member of 'f_list' and remove it.
• upon hitting period, the hidden geometry is removed, and bmesh will add members of f_list as real geometry.
• issue of remembering which edges had previously been attached to edges outside of the selection used. (yes, nightmare not an issue in AutoCAD as each edge is its own entity)..
  • does one remember the edges immediately attached to the current selection before the operator starts to do its thing and reselect those and do remove doubles when operator finishes?

this might not happen, effort++ for something I hardly use
