object_calc_normals vs object_calc_normals_force
What does the 'force' do that the vanilla variant does not?

Re: object_calc_normals vs object_calc_normals_force
There used to be a setting which switched off the recalculation of normals every time vertices were moved/sized. The _force version would bypass checking this setting and always do thr calculations.
This was done because the common PCs at the time were very slow and the normal calculations took a long time. These days, the normals calculations are optimised and machines are generally much faster, and the settings is no longer available. so, it's safe to use the non _force function all the time. Andy |
