Merci Pilou
I'll try with this scale as 100 is not enough

pilou

Hi
Finally I succeeded with a x1000 scale.
But now I have the "invisible but there" issue !.
Tweaking my OpenGl params didn't solve the problem.
How can I see my sliced model?

Do you mean clipping? Set the Camera to Perspective and hit Zoom Extents.

You should be modeling with the camera set to Perspective and save Parallel Projection for exported images when it's appropriate.

Slotter not working for me in su2018
what's wrong i'm doing anyone can please figure out?
please see attachment
Thanks

TIG

Please try it with the Ruby Console open and report any messages when you run it.

Also please post a screenshot of your settings.

If the object is too small, then slots might not get formed properly.

You can also attach a simple model's SKP, so that we can test it too...

Thanks a lot TIG for your quick response

i also tried in su 2015

TIG

Can you attached the un-sliced object to a post, so that I can have a look at its weirdness...
Also please provide your Slicer-settings...

Ahmed0007

settings included in skp file

un-sliced.skp

In v2018 it works fine for me.
Although in this screenshot the text height is bigger, it also works with the original

So... what is different in your set up ?

Ahmed0007

Pre Slotted works fine. its not update after changing.
i explain in previous gif

Thank you.
Now I see your issue.

I'll investigate further...

Ahmed0007

Thank you for your Time.
i also noticed another issue
Bug Splat when i try to export dxf with 2d text References
(without text it's works fine and fast)

TIG

I think I've fixed the issue with the 'Add-Slot' tool failures...
Here's v6.0...

Note that you can still only use this tool once on any 'un-slotted' set of parts...

Amazing Thank you soooooo Much.

Hey TIG, awesome plugin here. I'm pretty new to sketchup but I decided it was what I needed to do what I'm trying to do so I'm working through it well. Quick question - I got my model sliced and ready but I'm having issues with the PNG export. It seems to save the background only, regardless of what setting I'm using to view the slices. I've tried wireframe and shaded ect. not sure what I'm missing here? Thanks again!

After It finished sliding, I can not see my object and everything in the file. Can anyone tell me how to get my object back?

TIG

Run it with the Ruby Panel open and report error messages, if any...

Assuming that it has worked - use the Layers-Panel to switch your layers’ visibility on/off - the original object that you chose to slice is reassigned to layer “SLCR-HIDN”, which is then ‘hidden’, so you can see the results clearly…

Other layers used by the various slices also have names that start “SLCR-…”, so you can also toggle these on/off as needed…

You might also try Zoom Extents.
