Customizable Extrusion Map of Northeast US States

The Customizer is highly sensitive to number formatting; it won't work correctly if you end values with a decimal point or a zero after the decimal. For instance, 10 and 10.5 are acceptable while 10., 10.0, and 10.50 will cause issues. To create an extruded thematic map (also known as a "prism map"), open in Customizer and enter new values for each state. I am working on a script called Prismap to convert shapefiles of various regions into customizable OpenSCAD templates, allowing you to make printable prism maps of states, counties, countries, election districts, etc. Alternatively, let me know your area of interest and I may prepare a template for you. State boundaries are derived from Natural Earth Data; simplify geometry, remove small features, and reproject shapefiles as needed before processing with Prismap.
