Other:

• Removed Simulation modifier as it's no longer in master. It was available for the point cloud object which is not there anymore either. (Point cloud object will come back later, currently it's only in the geometry-nodes branch.)

• Removed modifiers from point cloud object. It currently has only one modifier in the branch: Empty/Nodes modifier. Support for that will come later.

• Multires:

  • layout was improved by moving all options to the left column in order to make the columns more even
  • "Rebuild Subdivisions" operator is now hidden when there's already subdivisions
  • settings are now set inactive the same way as in the regular UI
  • "Optimal Display" setting is now above the "UV Smooth" option

• Subdivision Surface:

  • "Quality" setting is now visible also when Cycles experimental features are enabled
  • settings are now set inactive the same way as in the regular UI when using Cycles adaptive subdivision
