ver. 1.1.
functions added:

- ability to cancel process added
- ability to process almost any kind of ruling surface (solid-like surfaces are also supported now)
bug fixes:
- undo performance improved

ver. 1.2.
functions added:
- ability to specify free vector as stick ray direction (has not to deviate from preset direction much if stick type option is set to 'Normal')
- 'Skip edges projection stage' option added (it is useful if sticking group(s) has(have) enough dense mesh or it is necessary to leave the initial vertex count of sticking groups for some reason)
- 'Reflection ray' option added (refer to the video for more information)
- 'Offset value' adjustment value added (allows offset of sticked groups from the ruling surface)
- 'Magnify' adjustment value added (a kind of scale coefficient for 'reflection ray' vector length)
