Bevel rotate feature w/ continuous edge slide functionality (Continuous edge slide/ Useful for hard surface modelling).

Hello guys. I would like to propose a feature that would allow the user to rotate the bevel profile. The rotation is far different from the regular rotate transform tool.

In the regular rotate transform tool, the mesh will not preserve the shape of the object/mesh. In the bevel rotate function on the otherhand, the general shape of the mesh affected will be preserved as much as possible.

Another functionality needed in order for this feature to work is the continuous edge slide while the bevel is being rotated.

▬In the example below. I am using a difference boolean as a tool to achieve the mockup of the feature. The corner affected by the boolean difference would represent the bevel.





▬ Currently in order to achieve this workflow you have to make a lot of repetitive steps like merging/adding vertexes.

Blender does have a different way of doing things and its workflow is very powerful but this feature would probably be very useful in a lot of applications especially in hard surface modelling.

I hope we could have some features similar to this in the near future. Thanks blender dev team.
