It already is compatible with SU2019. I just made an example in SU2019 to show you.

Hi!
Can you add dogbones
like this https://fablab.ruc.dk/more-elegant-cnc-dogbones/
and chamfer cut for start of joint?
-
Hello TIG
Great PlugIn, thank you very much!
However, when I slice with it, arcs are converted to edges and the sliced shape loses the nice curves.
Is there any way to prevent this?
Or an easy way to iron this out afterwards?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Can you share an example .skp file that shows what you are seeing?
What version of SketchUp are you actually using? Your profile says 2018 Free/Make but there is no such version.

The slice is by its very nature a cut through a 3d-object.
It ignores any 'curves' that might result and substitutes a segmented solution.
If the surface you are cutting is for example a cylinder with 24 facets from its original circle the cut geometry will have 24 segments.
So if you are cutting objects where you have control of their 'faceted-ness' from an early stage, then a cylinder with 72 facets will obviously result in a smoother slice... -
Hello,
I have installed Slicer and enabled it. When I try to use it I get an error message that reads "No selection!" This happens on all of the tool options in the Slicer toolset.I have tried installing other plugins and extensions and they work fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Did you select the object you wanted to slice? You have to select a component or group in order for Slicer to have something to do.

Do you know if this plugin will work with sketchup pro 2021?

Yes. It works fine in SketchUp 2021 Pro.
BTW, please correct your profile. It says you are using 2021 Free/Make which can't be.

To discuss something like this send me a Private-Message outlining what it is you want to do, I'll then get back to you with some ideas...

Hi TIG,
This website isn't the most user friendly how do I even send you a private message
? Could you email me matt[at]sftc.com.au -
No - I will not become involved in email discussions, except in exceptional circumstances...
But it is NOT difficult to PM here...Also, please stop posting your email address publicly - spam-bots will scrape it and you'll get extra spam emails ! I edited your posts' address's @ to an [at] to protect you from this...
It's very easy to do a PM...
Click the Private-Message icon [box?] below my avatar to the left of this message.
In the page/dialog that appears type/edit [or copy/paste] your text, attach files or images etc, as appropriate and then submit it to me.
I'll be notified immediately under my own Message heading, and we can then have a simple to-and-fro conversation, all of which will be 'in private', with you getting notifications when my reply is in your in-box etc... -
Mr. TIG
Is it possible to make variation of this plugin for cutting object to pieces
(For example a big object cut to pieces fitting for 3d printing) ?
May be "Slicer" workflow will be OK - cutting in X, Y, Z or any combination of the 3 axes. -
Look at my "Split to Plane" - which should be able to split your container into parts...
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Split_to_plane -
OK, but the idea is to make multiple cuts at once.
To convert a cube to Rubik's cube - serial cuts in different directions controlling distance between cuts (like slicer). -
Slicer5 will make cuts in two planes ?
I don't understand your issue...
