Currently all of the running rigging is constructed using a single macro to
automate the process. This allows me to vary dimensions of the rope, blocks,
etc...just by changing variables. When I wrote the macro, it was pure CSG.
Re-constructing the blocks from a mesh is an interesting idea. I could
simply scale the mesh based upon the same variables.

Thanks for the idea.
