Thanks. About 1000 lines of C code to produce though ;)

I wish I knew blender or some other 3D modelling package. I am playing
with writing a VRML importer - which should be able to read files
exported by Wings32 (like KiCad), but I can't for the life of me figure
out how to drive Wings32 to create a new model!
