      Thanks Tig, that makes sense. I know what to look for if it does it in future. It was only a random doodle in this case but I have had it happen 'rarely' when working on something specific. I took this accidental opportunity to show it to you.
      Thanks again for looking and explaining.

        This is an Amazing tool! Good Job!
        I just hope it can split even a non-solid groups of object or components and also regroup it into two.
        perhaps it makes it better. 😎

          It would be a "10/10" slicing/splitting plugin , if it could be applied to multiple "solid" group or component at one time.

            Select your groups/instances, perhaps copy them to one side, and make them into a group.
            Now edit the group and select all of its contents, and Explode.
            Exit the edit, and the new group should report as being 'solid' - if not, then the newly exploded geometry must interact/intersect to stop the 'solidity' - fix any issues with help of SolidInspector etc...

            Now the 'Split' should work OK on this new group...

              Dear TIG
              Thank you for the suggestion.
              May I humbly suggest that if the plugin could be coded to ....

              1. "remember" the Groups/Components selected by the user
              2. "remember" the splitting plane defined by 3 points by the user
              3. then carry out by "repeating" the splitting action to the Groups/Components one by one?

              I am totally ignorant in Ruby programming, hope you don't mind if I've a silly suggestion.

              Regards
