I apologize Dave, the name of the plugin I am using is SliceModeler. I will try to move things around and export again.

Thanks

I have posted the message below in the newbie forum, I probably should have posted to this thread instead.

I am trying to make a triangle box, I bought the Sketchup plugin SliceMaker to take a volumn and slice it into pieces I can then cut on my laser.

The video is short 1 min 20 seconds.

Then I attempt to export the pieces using the SVG plugin.

I show in the video the SVG plugin export, and my attempt to open in CorelDraw and InkScape.

Neither program can handle the pieces properly, hopefully someone can see something obvious in the video and point out my error.

Thanks

Hello, I recently obtained a copy of SliceModeler from PAI and I am looking forward to using it with my laser cutter. The instructions I have found in the past 24 hours are ok, but I was hoping to find some tutorials I could learn from.

I have used Blender, CorelDraw, Inkscape, and even UnrealEd so the concepts of Google SketchUp are already present, it's just the proper efficient use of the tool I need to learn.

To start with I would like to grab a generic model from the Google 3D Warehouse and slice it up to see how well it works. Hopefully someone has already done a tutorial like this.

Any insight or links to online educational info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Zach
