Summary0000684: Add an option that make FreeCAD check the shape after each boolean/loft operation
DescriptionOpenCASCADE often returns invalid Shapes that currupt the feature tree. If that happens FreeCAD should show a sign (like the exclamation mark in a red circle) in the TreeView, that will notify the user of a problem. this would be an improvement over silently returning a broken shape.
Since shape.check() and shape.isValid() are expensive in compuation time this behavior should be switchable in the program preferences.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is only meant for recaculating Features. Not for calls from the Python.

Since the exclamation mark is used when exceptions are caught, maybe a new symbol for the case of a invalid shape or a 'null' shape has to be considered.

Actually if I'm not mistaken, the current exclamation mark appears when the view provider is unable to build its output. In the case of shape-based objects, it should appear when the shape is not valid, no?
Or you can have a bad shape that produces a valid coin output anyway? We should make some tests...

I tried to implement this feature but i got stuck with a SIGSEGV
0x00007fffd0b09d75 in TopExp_Explorer::Init(TopoDS_Shape const&, TopAbs_ShapeEnum, TopAbs_ShapeEnum) () from /usr/lib/libTKBRep-6.3.0.so

Does it crash inside BRepCheck_Analyzer? And does it crash for all cases?

I missed a call path. When the broken shape created by a previous fusion reached another boolean it crashed OCC. That problem does not appear if the new feture is enabled.

simple testfile would be 'fan2' (http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2389&start=50#p20037)

I think Werner can review this much better than me, but if needed I can have a look too, just ask.
