        I apologise. I uploaded a version that's customized to my menu setup by mistake ! Of the 40 or so who've viewed it so far you are the only one to point it out... Here's v3.1 that's fixed to suit all.

            Thanks so much for the new version - works great! I'm using it similarly to the original purpose TIG mentioned, as a cheap 3D printer. Now to create a (cheap) automated way to cut them out!

            best,

            Matt

              Very impressive !
              And so usefull .
              Thanks a million !

              The final touch, for the cutting machine (cnc), would be numbers as lines so it can engrave them on the piece.
              Oh and also the possibility to add a letter before the number, like A1, A2, .. B1, B2 ...

              Great plugin. !

                I have a [privately written and hopefully paid for] 'Slicer v4' that has such lines added etc for CNC work - watch this space.

                Here is a script that will add a prefix for you...
                Put into Plugins folder...
                Adds a Prefix to selected text or text inside selected group/instance-definitions
                To use - select the objects needing prefixes [text OR groups containing text etc]
                then in the Ruby Console type prefixtext + <enter>.
                A dialog asks for the Prefix Text - enter it and OK - e.g. A.
                All text in the selection is prefixed with the desired prefix e.g. 9 becomes A9 etc...
                It is for use after running tools like Slicer

                • where sub-sets of slices might be more useful if they are differently coded.
                  Errors will stop you if there is no selection or you enter a blank 'prefix'.
                  It is one step un-doable.

                  Thanks for the prefix.rb
                  Thought I find it difficult to integrate to the process since each text is a group, in a group.
                  For now, I use component numbers made of lines.

                  Hum... that v4, is it close to release ?
                  Need some testing ?

                  I do think it is worth some money.

                    The prefixtext ruby should 'mine down' into any groups selected and add to all text. It undoes in one step anyway... πŸ˜•

                      Hi,

                      I'm interested in using the slicer plugin. I'm using the trial version of Sketchup Pro 7.1, and have downloaded Slicer31.rb. Whenever I try to use the plugin, Sketchup crashes. Any help is appreciated.

                      Thanks!

                          First try testing it on a simple group and make a modest number of slices - say 10...
                          When you get the hang of what it does you can then up the 'fineness' of the slicing... BUT be patient...
                          If you try to make hundreds of slices it will take a while and it sometimes 'whites-out' and appears to stall... BUT it will usually complete if you leave it for a while...

                                Thanks for the response. I have tried the slicer on a simple block, and only requested a few slices, but sketckup crashes completely and closes after it asks whether to add numbers to the slices. Anyone else have this issue?

                                Thanks.

                                  Your details please:
                                  Platform & OS
                                  SUp version
                                  Version of Slicer [open file with Notepad and read first section...]
                                  Other plugins loaded [only anything unusual?]
                                  Can you upload a simple skp that you have the problem with and a description of what failed - e.g. Z axis, 12" c/c etc...

                                  It usually works painlessly for most users... πŸ˜•

                                      hey I have been looking for this for ages to help my pupils with our laser cutter but i have been trying to down load slicer 3.1rb but i cant work out where to put the text version.
                                      is there a slicer 3.1.rb file that i can just save and load into plugins folder?

                                      cheers

                                        Save the linked file as Slicer31.rb into the Plugins folder - done...
                                        If your browser insists on making it another file type you can always use Select All on the page and paste it into a new empty plain text file and rename it with a .rb suffix NOT .txt ...

                                          In our work, we often deal with terrains modeled as surfaces, not volumes, often very irregular. Making a volume out of them is sometimes quite hard, even with Joint Push-Pull.
                                          Is there a "slicer" that can make slices from a surface ? Slices would then be only segments. πŸ˜„
