[Bf-committers] Inconsistancy in blender

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

This is unclear... faces have many properties, so what's the 'mode'  
here? For texture faces?

When faces get created in Blender it tries to duplicate the information  
when it's available, otherwise it uses settings from buttons or a  
default. Now with addition of edges in Meshes we have new problems to  
solve still. And we still dont have reliable code for retrieving  
information from vertices or edges when they are selected for making a  
face.

The copying code in Blender (in editmode) is far from clean, and could  
need cleanup badly. But it's also very sensitive stuff... patches for  
that are welcome, but need to be verified.
