I created this septagon prism with a macro that can make any regular
prism. It took over a month to come up with the macro! (It's my first
complex macro)

What is the method for the prisms? Are they intersected planes or actual prism
objects?

prisms are cool!

Any programmers out there want to build a frontend that manipulates prisms?

This is a image with prisms from a triangular prism to a 13 sided prism. If
you try to make a two sided prism with the macro, a rectangular polygon will
be created.

Here are the contents of my block include file that I started so long ago
(anyone remember the playroom?). The blocks are created with macros. They are:

box
sphere
cone
cylinder
hemisphere
torus
torus cut the long way
torus cut the short way
triangular prism
pyramid
box with arch
half of a cylinder

The Regular Prism Macro is in the Blocks Include File. The seventh version of
blockwood is the default texture.
