      I love useing this plugin Zorro2,
      So I added a icon to the tool bar.

      If you want to do this too,
      then paste these lines between the last end statment of zorro2.rb and its file_loaded("Zorro2.rb")
      useing notepad

      end

      #----copy this----------

      adds a icon to tool bar

      remeber to add the attachent zorro2.jpg to plugins folder

         if( not file_loaded?("Zorro2.rb") )
      tt_hh = UI::Toolbar.new "Zorro2"
      cmd = UI::Command.new("Zorro2 ")  {(Sketchup.active_model.select_tool Zorro2Tool.new)}
      cmd.small_icon = "zorro2.jpg"
      cmd.large_icon = "zorro2.jpg"
      cmd.tooltip = "Zorro2"
      tt_hh.add_item cmd
      

      tt_hh.show
      end
      #add is compleated
      #---copy to here---------------

      file_loaded("Zorro2.rb")

        Seems like this plugin badly needs an update. Nothing's changed in 2 years???

          Why fix something that is not broken? There are much older plugins still performing perfectly what they were designed for 5-6 years ago.

                This is a great plugin, but it's not working for me with the model I'm working on now. The model is large and complex. Is that what's causing it to crash when trying to cut at the section?

                  The Zorro that's bundled with Artisan is apparently more stable than this I believe. Though I could be wrong.

                  Give it a go http://www.artisan4sketchup.com

                  Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp πŸ“–

                        After a few hours I figure it out how to fix the bug splat, I have a heavy model, every time that I started using the slice tool my model crashed up, I tryed exploding the model, chainging to newer sketch up, etc etc etc. At the end I took all the model and grouped up whith out the cuting plane, after I slice it, and was the solution for the problem, now it doesn't matter how heavy is the file, the plug in ,work fine. sorry for my bad english, I hope is useful for you.

                        Thank you - this advice saved me too! Took a while to dig it up though and it seems as though lots of people are searching unsuccessfully for this same solution - perhaps it should be included in the instructions?

                          I totally agree πŸ˜„

                          It would be great if zorro had a feature to not delete the geometry but instead keep it as two seperate parts πŸ˜„

                                More details please...
                                How complex is the model?
                                Are you trying to slice-up raw-geometry or groups/components etc?
                                At what point during its use does it 'crash' [and what is this 'crash' like]?

                                  Happens to me too on both Skp 8 and 7. Both Mac and PC.

                                  Even if I draw a simple box and try to slice it with either Zorro or Slice Model (from the section cut dialogue) ... instant crash.

                                  (it`s not a "insufficient hardware" issue), the weird thing is that (on Skp 7) it actually worked one time and then it started crashing. I finally tried with a simple cube (non-group) and realized that the problem is with Sketchup, and not the file.

                                  I`m still looking forward to a solution.

                                    Do you have any of these other plugins installed?
                                    They might ill-advisedly overwrite some native class/methods and cause issues with legit scripts.

                                    Some versions of Podium
                                    Any other 'unusual' scripts you've recently installed???If so, try disabling them all [move their .rb/.rbs files out of Plugins temporarily and restart Sketchup...
                                    Move them back in one at a time until the culprit is found - then you must choose between Zorro and that other tool auto-loading...
                                    Report back...

                                        Do you have any idea how to install a plugin ?
                                        There are several good help pages on this...

                                        You do not need to 'open' it.

                                        In the case of a single .rb file like this you just put it into your Sketchup Plugins folder [ensure you have suitable access-rights to do this].
                                        Now restart Sketchup and the tool auto-loads and becomes available to use.
                                        Read [and follow] its usage instructions available on the download page.

                                        Note that a .rb file is just a kind of 'text file', if anything you should associate its opening with Notepad.exe, that way you can open the file and read the first part, which is often its usage instructions etc too...

                                        Tools that are more complex often come inside a .zip file and consist of several 'parts' which need 'extracting' before they are 'installed' - again there are lots of useful pages on doing this - but let's not run before we can walk and leave this for another day πŸ˜‰
