[Plugin] Slicer5
-
I'm talking about new plugin that will work similar to "Slicer" but cutting object to smaller parts.
Cutting in 1 or 2 or 3 planes (X, Y, Z) and why not in additional "A and R-planes" like the planes in "Slicer""Split to plane" is OK for few splits, but what if I want to make 100 splits(cuttings) equal in height in Z-plane then each of these in Y-plane, and then in X-plane.

With appropriate settings Slicer5 will already split your solid along any 2 planes.
But unfortunately not with 3 planes !Omitting all gaps/slots/tolerances etc would probably make it simple enough, and then allow a new tool with XYZ slicing...
Unfortunately I don't have the time to do any of this, this year !
The code is readable and you are welcome to try your own new XYZ version... -

...Is this possible with Slicer?
I don't think so, or I obviously miss something in Slicer settings. -
The slice settings are XY XZ and YZ
But there's no XYZ ! -
TIG I understand this. The main problem is is not 2 or 3 axes/planes, problem is Slicer is not making actual cutting.
My English is poor and may be I do not use proper words - splitting, slicing or cutting.
So I'll use word dividing.
Slicer is not dividing objects. The idea is to divide in different planes.
In the Lion illustration above every horizontal part has to be separate object. Start with whole Lion as 1 object, applying divide in Z-plane and the result is as in illustration > separate objects instead of 1 whole lion.
Is the idea clear now? -
So. your request has little to do with Slicer.
You want a tool which splits an object along the XY and Z planes in one step.
i.e. something like my Split tool, but with more repetitions per plane...Again, I'm sure it's possible but I am unlikely to create a split-XYZ tool any time soon
-
The future tool already has a very good name:
Split-XYZ

@martinguillermo11
Can you try with a very very simple sliced model, and zip the PDF and DXF results and post it here or send it to me in a Chat [PM]...
Do you see any error messages in the Ruby Console ? -
buenas , gracias por la respuesta , no se como enviar chat jajajaj

@martinguillermo11 What version of SketchUp are you using on this new computer ?
It must be 'Pro' to have built-in DXF export... Otherwise it'll be PDF ?Can you manually export things as DXF ?
Are there any other error messages or Ruby-Console output ?

sketchup pro 2023
no , acabo de probar y no medeja manualmente
no hay mas mensajes
en el pdf que me sale adjunto , habla sobre fredo spline , pero no se a que se refiere , es neceserio comprar fredospline
un saludo

@martinguillermo11 Failing to export DXFs at all is a symptom of something other than Slicer5 !
Have you tried repairing SketchUp/Layout ?
Doing this will not affect your extensions, other settings, licenses etc.
Follow these steps...
Close SketchUp/Layout.
Find the SketchUp installer's exe file - usually in Downloads, but if you have deleted it you can always download another copy from sketchup.com.
Select the installer's exe file's icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair"
After it completes restart you computer and see if anything has improved...Installing a complex app in Windows by double-clicking on its icon to "Run" it is not the same as doing it as I described - even if you have admin powers - it can cause all kinds of unpredictable weirdness, perhaps including your DXF exporter missing...

@TIG de acuerdo , probare a ver que pasa , cuando encuentre el problema y lo solucione lo pondre por aqui , por si a algun otro neofito en el tema le sirve jajajaj
gracias
