FreeCAD macro to normalize imported faces (tested with svg paths).

# this macro can be used to manipulate face geometry (scale and origin vertex)
# it was specially made to rescale imported faces (e.g. svg)

# imported geometry may have undesired scale and position, depending on the
# original file (positions, translations, dpi etc.)

# after importing, select a single face vertex and run the macro
# it transforms the geometry of the face to set that vertex as the origin and
# scales it to match the requested size along the selected axis

# TODO: make dialog to configure the behavior
