 * 6) FrameBranch manager

Similar to the analogous feature in the Pype menu, this is a container for beams structured on a .Base. The base can be a DWire, a Sketch or also the edges of a solid shape. When the underlying base is changed, also the position and length of the beams is modified accordingly. It's possible to trim/extend to any geometry the beams and rotate the sections aroud the center-line through the commands provided in the dialog: in this way the modification is not lost when the document is recomputed. When one beam belonging to a framebranch is selected in the view area, the TAIL is visually highlighted. That allows to change manually the offsets of tail and head, beside the rotation of the section, using the commands provided in the dialog.
 * OK creates one framebranch over the pre-selected geometry
 * Cancel closes the dialog
 * the   text box allow to insert a custom name to the feature
 * the combo box allow to select the type of section that will be displayed in the list box. (see ../Mod/flamingo/shapes or ../Mod/dodo/shapez to customize)
 * AddBeams adds one member to a frame to the currently selected edge. The edge must belong to an existing framebranch
 * RemoveBeams removes the selected beam from the corresponding edge
 * ChangeProfile change the profiles to the framebranch. To select the framebranch just select in the view area one of its members.
 * Get targets selects geometry from the view area to trim/extend to the beams. Targets can also not belong to any framebranch.
 * Trim/Extend changes the lenght of selected members to the targets
 * Add single creates one beam, of the specified  , not linked to the base on any edge or surface selected.
 * Redraw recreates the frame, deleting all the offsets and rotations
