    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 ๐Ÿ˜ž

              The future tool already has a very good name:
              Split-XYZ ๐Ÿ‘

                          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 ?

                                @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 ?

                                    @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...

                                          No.
                                          But please repeat this with the Ruby Console open and report any messages...

                                          If you don't export to DXF are the pieces made as you expect, with the outlines etc ?
