Being inspired by: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jamesmcbennett/this-stool-rocks?ref=live
I decided to make it customizable:

If you use a real browser (tested in latest Firefox & Chrome) you can experiment yourself at http://www.iscriptdesign.com and select projects->iPath -> stool
customize by adjusting the sliders and when at your liking press dxf export (There is still an issue with the location of the '+' in side the seat) and start routing. Have fun!

Jeroen,
Very cool. I went to your site and fiddled with it a bit. Because it is in mm i didn't know what i was doing however i made one and downloaded. I'll load it up in my dxf viewer and see how it goes. Always good to have tools like this at our disposal. What is the possibility of making it in Imperial measurements?
Good Job!:D

Thanks for the suggestion! that's what happens if you showcase it in the states :-)
I tried adding a scale factor in the template but that makes the sliders in the template more or less useless as the slider boundaries and values remain unchanged. 200 mm is not 200 inches. I'm thinking hard about a more mature solution, and let you know!

The stool template has now a possibility to toggle its unit of measurements either in mm, cm or inches. Apart from the display value of the sliders nothing changed. So be aware that if you try to edit the file all the parameters are still in mm's. This holds also true when you change a slider in a text or (digit) field.
