Hello

I've got a technical question I'd like help with if possible.

I've installed v5 and have used it to slice models using the dual axis, but I'm having difficulty using the R and A axis.

When selecting A axis, SU seems to run through the steps, showed on the status bar, but once finished, the original model disappears, along with the RGB/XYZ axis, and when I click zoom extents, nothing shows up. Clicking on undo and then re-zooming shows the original model before the slicer has run.

Selecting R axis simply doesn't do anything. The dialogue box closes and SU reverts back to the select tool with no alteration to the model.

In both these cases I have been trying to slice a simple cylinder 200x200, with no additional features used on it. It is located with the centre on the Z axis, and to the best of my knowledge is a viable component, as it works fine when slicing in one and two axis modes.

Thanks for your assistance

Hello

thanks for this fantastic script, just what I've been looking for to help my students.

could you tell me if it is possible to create slices at a different angle, for example at 45deg to the standard axis? It would be very handy to be able to make slicemodels that use a radial assembly instead of a normal 90deg matrix style.

Hope that makes sence!

Thanks
This script is pretty much superseded by my Slicer5 which does various different slicing/slotting permutations...
Find it under the Plugins Index, accessed from the menu above...

thank you very much, I'll have a look and see what I can do.
