      Thanks for this update sir. I just gave it a test. It's amazingly fast.

      FWIW, it works fine for me as it is.

        Version 7.1 is now available.
        https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=TIG_Slicer

        Operation is much as the previous versions, but with additional Dialog options added:
        = add reference slices 'upwards' [Yes|No] - more logical when slicing a building massing model into floor plates.
        = start reference at 0 or 1 - this covers some countries who use 1 for 'ground' floor [calling it 'first'], versus 1 for 'first' floor [meaning first 'upper' floor], thus it lets you start at 0 or 1 for the 'ground' floor to suit your local naming convention.
        = reference labels are now auto-moved logically onto the 'top' face of each slice - positioned near bottom left corner, offset by thickness in X&Y, to minimize potential clashes and awkwardness, although of course it's possible to contrive a form that when sized has slices with insufficient face area that can't always nicely accommodate their entire label.

        Feedback here please.

            The ancient toolbar icons have been modernized as SVG/PDF for PC/MAC and old PNGs auto-deleted.

              SVG's not loading. Use these, edit with VectorCraft, it's free.

                  v2020 on W10, I see toolbar with 4 empty buttons.. When I edit svg files I see just 1 scaled up, pixelated image layer of the old-png-icon inside svg. No vector drawing inside. (Toolbar name is still Slicer5)

                    I haven't tired it on a Windows or SketchUp version that old.
                    If you icons work OK on my newer system I'll look at packaging them with an update...

                      Just tested your SVG alternatives and they do work fine on my newer versions too.
                      They are also slightly sharper [but not very noticeably so].
                      I'll package them with v7.2 RBZ and update the PluginStore's entry...
                      I'll also update the MAC's PDF equivalents...

                        v7.3 will be published in the PluginStore / ExtensionStore shortly...
                        It incorporates the better icons from @tboy and Slicer5 references are changed to Slicer7 in various places...
