yes and no, this class is either smart of the most stupid one, its all in the 
way you do structure/prepare the data that you pass to it.
but if you now extrude using rects on one plan, I'd rather use the Elevation 
class which would allow you to draw (like trails) the interpolation. In fact 
you would be
drawing a rough heightmap. The color would give you the offset height. the 
class subdivision property combined to your input map, should give you a very 
good control over your shape.
