TIG,

I don't suppose you could simplify this by modifying the script of your slicer app to work with non-manifold solids? wink wink....

cant figure out how to effectively edit the object

So i have been spending tons of time trying to convert this model into a manifold solid so that i can slice it up before painstakingly hand cutting out the planes to eventually form a life size 3d cardboard model...but have been having little luck.

wondering if there is someone out there with some wicked sketchup skills that might be willing to give it a shot....

to compensate i will send the prospective helper pics of the final model and build process...its going to be sweet....so long as i can get her sliced..........help!!!

thanks for the suggestion.........dl'd and installed - only to find out that the object i have chosen (tried others as well) can not be sliced with Slicer as it is not a manifold solid....thoughts?

Hey there - bit of a newb here, but familiar with 3d modelling....

so i want to make a 3d cardboard sculpture of a 3d person found in the warehouse....the model will be made my creating a section plane, (plane parallel to the ground) and moving it up in 1/8" increments (thickness of cardboard) until i reach the head. Each increment will be displayed via data projector onto successive sheets of cardboard, traced, and cut out then glued to the previous.....going to be tedious, but the first step is to set/control the movement of the section cut plane.....HELP!
