I have a banana that won't cut bread no matter how hard I try.

Hi,
This plugin doesn't cut objects into separate components? It just slices through the model?

Right. It just does what it says in the first post of the thread.

"- Cutting through nested components results in creation of many unique components"

Yeah it says it creates new components in nested components, but it doesn't create new components on my PC. That's why I asked.

SU 2014, windows 7.

It's not quite what that means.
Zorro will make a component unique when it cuts it. Not make separate unique components from the cuts.

Make a simple component, make a copy of it and use ctrl with zorro to slice the second one. Look at the entity info and you will see it has changed the name therefore making that a unique component.

@BOX

Cheers for clearing that up, I thought it was an error originally. Guess will have to take that extra step.

Is there an alternative that divides components into separate components after cutting?

Yes, S4u Slice, not free, but very cheap.

I am trying to install this in a Mac with the SU 2014 version. I am not certain where/how to install the file i downloaded "Zorro2_v2.0_beta.rbz".

I have read all the responses and I still can't seem to get it to work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

If you have downloaded the RBZ file, go to the SketchUp menu, click on Preferences>Extensions and then the Install Extension button. Navigate to where you saved the file, select it and click on Open. Then click on all the affirmative responses. Close the Preferences window. Done.

You really ought to get the Sketchucation Plugin Store tool and use it to auto-install plugins.

Any plans to update this? Or suggestions for other ways to get this slice model at section functionality? Can't get it to work with Sketchup 2015 (on mac)

I have tried to download this plugin (inserted the Zorro2.rb into my system files: Program Files (x86)_Google_Google SketchUp 8_Plugins) without any luck. After I have uploaded it into my program files I should expect to see "Zorro" show up in my Sketchup "Tools," however, it does not show up? Any suggestions?

I have tried to reboot sketchup and my computer. I don't know what else I can do.Thanks for any and all help.

Where did you get the file you downloaded? The one that is available here on SCF comes as an rbz file, not rb. Do not put rbz files into the Plugins folder. After downloading the rbz file, open SketchUp and go to Window>Preferences>Extensions. Click on Install Extensions... Navigate to the location where you saved the file, select it and click on the affirmative answers.

Better, install the Sketchucation Plugin Store plugin that way and use it to automatically install the plugin.
