Hello,
I am working on making an extension to Slicer to allow it to export .svg files.
When Slicer goes through and flattens the model it appears to do some layout optimization so each layer takes up only enough space for itself. I am making a 3d printer that reads svg files so ideally each layer would have the same origin in it for repeatable stacking. I have quite a lot of ideas for fixing it but was wondering if you had any input on a good path to follow.

The other problem that I have encountered when using Slicer is that it is unstable once the number of layers gets above 100. I think the best way to fix this instability would be to use the top and bottom offsets to create several sections that are then cut. I think I can write code to do that but again, any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

When I get the code for the svg export fully working I would be happy to send you a copy if you would like to include it in your plugin.
Thank you very much,
Dan Corrigan

Hi, did you get this version working? Could I have a copy please?

Thanks, Andrew

Hi there TIG,

Firstly, thanks, this is an amazing tool.

I have a problem exporting DXF - it crashes every time - was doing a quick test with a cube, quite large, about 8m3 it starts to compile the export, but never completes and goes to the bugsplat screen.?

Using latest Pro sketchup on 64 bit

Any ideas?

Thanks, Andrew
