This has been implemented. A new extension called 'extrude' is available in Inkscape 0.45svn. See attached screenshot.
Since it is implemented as an extension, it may also work with earlier versions of Inkscape. Copy the motion.inx and motion.py file from Inkscape SVN into your /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/ folder, restart Inkscape, and look in Effects->Generate from Path. If your version of Inkscape has a different menu structure than Inkscape 0.45, you may need to edit the motion.inx file to suit. Note that this extrude capability isn't perfect, as you can't re-edit the extrusion on-canvas, and I've noticed a quirk or two, but hopefully it should suit basic perspective needs. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot showing new extrude feature" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5598876/extrude.png -- Feature request: Inkscape should allow to change perspective on objects https://launchpad.net/bugs/45314 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
