[Bf-committers] Proposal: to remove the TexFace options

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Erwin,
as with the rest of functionalities you can't per face but per
material. In the tracker there is an image with the UI highlights:
http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=9863

It's in the header of the "Physics" tab in the material panel (and
it's on by default).

Thanks,
Dalai
