3d_extrusion_spec02
{
This descriptor is a demonstration of the grammar of 3D extrusions.
It is a completion of the 3D specification example shown in
"Help | Technical Notes | Extrusions in 3D".
It describes a strip capacitor fabricated as a sandwich of
air | metal | glass | metal | air.

See the sample problem "Capacitor3D" for a somewhat more complicated
and interesting version.
