UI for dimensions order #1

Open mirlip opened 6 years ago

mirlip commented 6 years ago

Hi, First of all, great work, it's indeed really fast and efficient. Do you plan to add a UI to choose the dimension order, if possible consistent with the other importers?

Would be awesome when it support normals import and Ngons too :)

Well, the current builtin PLY importer also doesn't have an option to map the axes. Nor is there very much consistency among all the Blender importers if such as an option is present ;-)

But I'll leave this one open as a reminder that there's interest in it, will see what I can do in the future.

By the way, importing of vertex normals is already supported

ok, thanks. I agree consistency is wanted by the BF but not really there yet ;) OBJ is a widely used format, so maybe copy it's UI? Awesome for normals :)

FYI, I updated the module to work with Blender 2.8 and general n-gons are now also supported.
