How to change the 3D face model

Hi RC, I do want to work on adding "movement" of a face as well in the future, but it's quite a bit more complex in many cases than just doing an extrude.

Like in this case here:




"Moving" the face would need to give this result:




"Extruding" that face does this:




The difficulty with the move case is that it involves some more difficult internal steps of extending the surface on all sides and intersecting it with the surrounding side wall pieces. The result is dependent on interactions between many surfaces, it's not just a direct construction from that face all by itself like Extrude is.

But for the case of boxy objects with 90 degree angles they are the same and for those cases the Extrude command update for v3 to do automatic booleans will work the same as moving the face.
