So, here is an image with a box with different radii on each corner. The
macro is not finnished yet beacuse I can't find an easy way to make a plane
through 3 points (suggestions).

(image is in p.b.i)

Hello,

For three points A, B and C, the following will put a plane through them.

plane
{ vcross(B-A, C-A), 0
   translate A
}
