            Hi TIG,
            I have tried the slicer script with a very simple geometry, but there are no flattened slices. Is the choosen geometry the reason for this? Is there an easy way to get the holes in the slices automatically? (SU8 M2 free)
            Thank you!

              I have no problem with flattened geometry although the central hole needed manual fixing as the rhomboid form messes with the pushpull hole making - I'm unsure of the exact cause at this exact moment...
              Try lying the group on its side and taking slices on say X or Y axis ?Capture.PNG

                I have tried some rotations and slice-directions, but never get a flattened version of the slices. I attached my testmodel.

                  I agree it's not working !
                  I can get it to make a flattened set but they are all empty and the original disappears !
                  I thought it might be because you had three copies of the same group, but unique-ing them by editing was no better...
                  This glitch is a new mystery ??
                  I am working on a new 'Slicer5 so watch for that...

                    Thank you for taking a look at this problem. I looked in the ruby console and there is this error shown:
                    Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method name=' for nil:NilClass> C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/Slicer.rb:575:in calculate'
                    C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/Slicer.rb:992

                    Does it give you a hint to the source of the behaviour?

                      It's trying to name a non-existent object - presumably a slice it's failed to complete successfully...
                      Oddly I get a failure but no message.

                      Don't despair new/improved v5 is well advanced and will be published soon...

                        This tool is now superseded by 'Slicer5', available here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=374969#p374969

                          Thanks TIG for an awesome plugin! I am also crashing when I try to make a lot of slices. I am wondering if this is something I could avoid by using a more powerful computer, or if there is just an inherent limit to how much it can slice. Any other tips would be appreciated. Does the geometry of the object make crashing more likely?
                          Thanks again.

                            Can I suggest that you try the latest Slicer5 version [see the Plugins Index], and not this old one. See you over there in that thread.
                            When you say 'crashing' do you mean a 'white-out' and not-responding - this a=is a feature seen with many tools requiring intensive calculations - Sketchup IS still processing and will eventually complete.
                            Tip: Make your slided object a 'solid' as 'leaks' will mean slices not forming properly.

                            I'm locking this thread [20120129].
                            You'll still be able to read/download/etc here... BUT no longer able to make posts; as all focus should be on 'Slicer5'
