Have CapPlaneShaper conform more closely to WallMeshShaper

[GGAlanSmithee]

Being able to use a CapPlaneShaper to create a dome ceiling on top of a WallMeshShaper would be super handy. It mostly works out-of-the-box but it seems there are some issues and/or edge-cases;

1. it does not respect the walls height (screenshot 1)
2. it does not always respect the walls rounding parameter (screenshot 2)
   2a. it does with certain values (screenshot 3)

PS. It would be great to be able to discuss things like this either in a Discord channel or i you enabled discussions here at Github, as to not create issues for things that might just be a user error.

I actually think using a CapMoundShaper makes more sense in this case, as it produces a much more even shape, but the problem with the height offset still remains. Could be (probably is) a configuration error on my end.

this could actually easily be solved by adding a height_offset parameter to the CapMoundShaper. This is basically a less than 10 lines of code change:

It would be amazing to have a RoofMeshShaper that would act like a combination of the CapMoundShaper and the WallMeshShaper, in the sense that it caps/forms like the former, but allows you to set a Mesh that would repeat, which would allow you to create something like shingles on a roof

I've had a little bit of a go at this, the threading stuff is making it a bit hard to do due to the lack of a guaranteed build order. I'd have to (potentially) find a way to generate the wall mesh data independently for the cap, I need to somehow read the wall settings independently too.

My workaround for most scenes is just to modify the mesh I'm using to work better with independent caps, which isn't a solution but a workaround.

I'll leave this open for now, in case some brain-jolt occurs and I figure out a cheap, encapsulated way to process this.
