That way we don't have to initialise CatmaidNeurons

b3d?

pymaid.b3d is the module that contains functions to interface with Blender. Currently SWC imports into Blender have to first load the data as a CatmaidNeuron which creates overhead. Would be nice to have a (optional) shortcut.

Idea: subclass CatmaidNeuron into a MinimalNeuron without the upfront generation of a graph representation, etc?

My neuron base class is simpler than catmaidneuron. I have previously regretted not having a vertex3d type class representing anything that has 3D points.
