Re: SVG cutout tutorial for Library Editor?
I found a way to convert my .obj grandstaircase into .svg by using Inkscape. (found this in the Inkscape forums):
take a look at the extension 'Render > 3D Polyhedrons' which can import (and draw as SVG paths) 3d objects from a Wavefront .obj 3D file stored in a local folder [1], with various settings (for appearance, lighting, rotation, etc.)
I found too, that I can open this file in a text editor and found all kinds of coordinates (as told in this tutorial: http://www.stoimen.com/blog/2011/02/11/from-s...dinates-a-complete-guide/ ).

I'm wondering if I can copy and paste one of those, but which one(s) are the right ones?

I guess I'll try it out the way you said when I get time. I was just hoping that there would be a quicker way to do it.

If you have Inkscape and want to see what I've done so far, I can email the Inkscape file(s) to you.
