i had the idea for the script when reading this thread here:
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=593
i just wrote a little script that helps modeling edge highlights.
just select meshes or edges or faces...
be sure to use either meters or centimeters. ( if the script is needed for inches tell me. )
if there are any questions or bugs, just post here.

code: just save the text as d_edgeTreatmentWin_V1.mel
