<_param name="extrusion_1" type="description" xml:space="preserve">The depth (Z-Axis) and other parameters can be defined through an svg object's description. The menu 'Object->Object Properties ...' (Shift-Ctrl-O) shows details of one selected object.
If an object's ID is in either name_XXX_mm or name_XXXmm
format, then XXX is translated into zsize in millimeters.
Use . or _ as separator for a decimal number.
Note that all whitespace or comma are saved as '_' in ID.
<_param name="extrusion_2" type="description" appearance="header">Syntax for the object property description
<_param name="extrusion_3" type="description" xml:space="preserve">Depth: 10 mm
Linear extrusion length (or Z-Size)) of the object.
Antimatter: true
Object is part of the difference set, which is
cut away from all other objects.
Offset: 4.5 mm
Move an object upwards to create a balcony (or window).
Taper: 90 % or Taper: 120,60 %
Scale the object along its Z-axis. The bottom surface always
is as drawn, but the top surface is scaled to this value.
If two values are given (separated by Komma), different
scaling applies along X- and Y-axis.
Parameters in the objects take precedence over groups.

This extension converts Inkscape paths to
extruded polygons in OpenSCAD. Before
using, some objects must firat be converted to paths
with the "Path > Object to Path" menu item.
Inkscape's units of pixels are converted
to millimeters using the SVG standard's
definition of 96 px = 1 inch = 25.4 mm.
(Before inkscape 0.92 the standard was 90 px per inch,
Adobe products often use 75 px per inch)
