Ryan Schultz 99f95bee6a Add Force Parallel to Face constraint for parametric dimensions
Adds a new 'Force ∥ to Face' toggle alongside the existing 'Force ⊥ to
Face'. The constraint direction is cross(face_normal, camera_dir), keeping
dimension vertices running along the face surface rather than into it.
Enabling one constraint automatically disables the other (mutual exclusion
via a re-entrant guard in the prop callbacks).

"""Regenerate a parametric dimension annotation from its BBIM_Dimension anchors.
This module operates purely on IFC data. It:
1. Reads the ``Anchors`` JSON array from the ``BBIM_Dimension`` pset on an
``IfcAnnotation``.
2. Resolves each anchor to a world-space point (IFC project units) using
``resolve_anchor``.
3. Computes per-segment distances and updates (or creates) the linked
``IfcMetric`` + ``IfcRelAssociatesConstraint`` entities.
4. Returns the ordered list of resolved world-space points so that the
Bonsai operator layer can update the Blender curve object.
Updating the Blender curve (converting IFC world coords → annotation local
coords) is the *caller's* responsibility and does **not** happen here.
