You're right, I should come more often, as subtle tricks are introduced here.

My projects are more for fun as a hobby. Thus, there is no straight line to
measure progress. So, I easily give up an idea and try another; but I frequently
check for emerging solutions for my older ideas :)

isosurface is very flexible, but I was unable to find a pragmatic way to match
it with prism. Theoretically, it is possible, as the points and curves of the
prim can be easily calculated through the underlying spline. Unless the prism
shape is geometrical to find a matching isosurface function.
