Option to highlight edge/vertex/face #592

Closed proegssilb closed 6 months ago

proegssilb commented 6 months ago

I find myself writing a lot of filter_by_position() selectors. It'd be nice to be able to highlight the results of a selector for debugging purposes, not unlike # in OpenSCAD. For example, to_fillet = part.edges().filter_by_position(Axis.Z, 41, 43).debug() or to_fillet = part.edges().filter_by_position(Axis.Z, 41, 43).highlight()

show(to_fillet) (with ocp_vscode) or show_object(to_fillet) (both cq-editor and ocp_vscode)

The build123d API is not tied to any viewer so one needs to execute viewer specific commands to display objects.
