Hmmmm, I actually had to make a spec with a def of what we
want to build. :S
Ok, blue is the core, the building block param. Red mark
the stairs and green marks the stopgap pieces needed to
make the scaffold turn out "even". Ie the macro takes the
core rectangle as a starting point, and divides it into a
bunch of 4 meter sections and the odd stoppgap piece.

Note that the scaffold is _not_ intended to be accurate, it
is mainly intended for medium and distant views. Its main
reason for existance is that it is "cheap" to make, at the
expense of a few seconds parse time.

If we want to place detailed scaffolding in the foreground,
which might be very nice, we can simply use the large
number of models in 3dwarehouse:
