I don't know if this has been done before, but I created a macro that will
make a prism with rounded edges. It works similarly to the rounded box macro
that I've heard of, I believe. It only works with linear_sweep and
linear_spline prisms, but it can come in handy occasionally. It uses
spheres, cylinders, and boxes to create a prism that's the same as a regular
prism, only as though the corners have been "sanded" to round them off at a
radius that you can specify.

I figured I'd share it with everyone here in case someone had a use for it.
