Oh.  :-(

Unfortunately, what I have been trying to do _is_ 2D extrusion from
DXF files made by QCad or Visio.  I can get the examples to work
perfectly, but not a single bit of a single file that I've drawn
myself from scratch renders, even if I drop it into a working example
(by changing the filename and layer name).  I'm trying to make an oval
medallion about 5-6mm thick by about 30mm x 55mm, with some "features"
on the face.  I can't get so much as a triangle to extrude.

The only Macs I have on-hand are G4 Macs running 10.4 (which is a
problem vs Intel Macs due to Python issues), so that's not really
helpful to me either since none of my RepRap/Makerbot environment is
set up there.

I'm a long-time C/Unix developer, so I was overjoyed to see a tool
like OpenSCAD, but I seem to be having enough difficulty even getting
test shapes to render that it's not been very productive for me.
