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.

  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.</label>

This extension converts Inkscape paths to
extruded polygons in OpenSCAD.  Before
using, some objects must firat be converted to paths
with the "Path &gt; 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)
