I am messing around with a scanned image I have and I would like to take it and extrude it into a full 3d model / stl file. I came across this tutorial ( http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a- ... /?ALLSTEPS )which looks promising but I am a bit stumped by this part:
"Do this:
Install Inkscape.
Download the paths2openscad script at GitHub.
Move the script to your ~/.config/inkscape/extensions folder.
Open Inkscape.
File -> Open to open the .svg file.
Extensions -> Generate from Path -> Paths to OpenSCAD to generate the .scad file.
Save the file with the extension ".scad""
I cannot for the life of me find an extensions folder in inkscape when I use windows explorer, am I just looking in the wrong place or what?

"C:\Program Files\Inkscape\extensions" or similar. Use linux to not have such problems.

Re: Inkscape to OPENscad question
It was actually hidden in the "share" folder. I found it eventually although the scan I had wouldn't convert though other bmp images would. Had to go ahead and model it up in inventor, oh well. 4 hours wasted tryin to find a shortcut, lesson learnedRenha wrote:"C:\Program Files\Inkscape\extensions" or similar.
