Functions and macros available in v3.5

[olivier at linuxgraphic.org]

Hi all,

Any chance we'll see a day these fine macros found in shapes.inc directly 
incorporated and seen in wireframe in the 3d views of kpm? While inserting the 
appropriate primitive, what would be cool could be to pick which primitive-
variant is choosen (even throug a button in the object properties view or by 
a "cascading" icon in the toolbars). Many of these shapes are really so cool 
for CSG operations in order to construct complex and realistic shapes (mainly 
because of the round edges or the connecting spheres) and I'm reluctant to use 
them blindy (without visualisation on screen) for any modelling operations :o(

Box:
Wire_Box_Union(PtA, PtB, Radius), Wire_Box_Merge(PtA, PtB, Radius), Wire_Box
(PtA, PtB, Radius, UseMerge
Round_Box_Union(PtA, PtB, EdgeRadius), Round_Box_Merge(PtA, PtB, EdgeRadius), 
Round_Box(PtA, PtB, EdgeRadius, UseMerge)

Cone:
Supercone(EndA, A, B, EndB, C, D)
Connect_Spheres(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB)
Round_Cone_Union(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB, EdgeRadius), Round_Cone_Merge(PtA, 
RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB, EdgeRadius), Round_Cone(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB, 
EdgeRadius, UseMerge) 
Round_Cone2_Union(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB), Round_Cone2_Merge(PtA, RadiusA, 
PtB, RadiusB), Round_Cone2(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB, UseMerge)
Round_Cone3_Union(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB), Round_Cone3_Merge(PtA, RadiusA, 
PtB, RadiusB), Round_Cone3(PtA, RadiusA, PtB, RadiusB, UseMerge)

Cylinder:
Round_Cylinder_Union(PtA, PtB, Radius, EdgeRadius), Round_Cylinder_Merge(PtA, 
PtB, Radius, EdgeRadius), Round_Cylinder(PtA, PtB, Radius, EdgeRadius, 
UseMerge) 
HF_Cylinder(FunctionName, PtA, PtB, Radius, Depth, Res, Smooth, FileName) 

Sphere:
Spheroid(Center, Radius)

Torus:
Supertorus(MajorRadius, MinorRadius, MajorControl, MinorControl, Accuracy, 
MaxGradient).

They are also a lot of functions in functions.inc usable for isosurfaces. I 
know that this feature is currently being implemented and it could be cool to 
also have the possibility to pick among these predefined functions (could we 
also have a little preview of these functions like we have preview of 
materials/textures?) or even to add custom functions in the list.

What do you think of all of this? Is it easy to do? Is it like adding objects 
or is it more complicated?

Cheers,
