[Plugin] Slicer5
-
@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

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?

I'm having an issue with the plugin and trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
The first two and last two slices always seem to have a smaller gap than the rest, sometimes they'll even overlap. Is there a way around this?
-
If you object's overall size is not an exact multiple of the spacing & thickness [allowing for the last-most slice/gap], then this will occur.
It looks like the start/end gaps are 1/2 a gap ?Also choosing to centralize the slice can exacerbate this result - try centralizing the gap ?
You can also tweak the start/end insets to adjust the sliced result.Supplying the model would help us see what's what...
-
@TIG Ah, the multiples will be the issue then, I was just throwing random shapes and spacings and seeing what came out.
Thanks for the help!

Will this take slices along a curve, perpendicular to the path? I.e., take cross-sections along a snake.
-
Can you take slices along a curved path, perpendicular to the path, for a given increment? I want to model a snake.
-
@Chelmite no. It makes parallel slices.
For your snake you could create a plane component and use Copy Along Path to do what you are looking for.
