[Plugin] Slicer5
-
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 ?

no hay mas mensajes

@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

hey im using slicer but and its working good but when i check yes on adding outline to adjacent part its crashes on export to dxf any idea why?
-
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 ?

So I know this is an old topic but maybe someone can help me. I have a solid entity with 1440 cu ft of volume shown when I check on entity info.
I need to adjust this volume along a specific axis maintaining relative dimensions so slicer seemed like a perfect tool to do this. It worked great slicing up the volume along the axis in 2" slices.
I then wanted to get the volume of each slice. No can do. All the slices are grouped as a component so I exploded that component. I clicked on one and no volume information. So I thought, well maybe it's got to be a group. I exploded the individual slice and then grouped it. Still no volume info. So one more try I exploded once more, selected all connected and grouped again. Still no volume information.
Am I missing something?
