Hello, here a small update with improvement/fixes mainly for undo redo behavior.

Currently working on mesh deformation for the next main update.
Mesh can be auto generated. Like basic plan with the choice of subdivisions.

Or complex shape. (the colors used are only for debugging)

Still a lot of work to do but should be available soon.
