Sketchup plugin Slice Modeler

The SLICER (slicer.rb) is a Plugin from TIG. This plugin can create slices from your sketchup model along 2 axes to build a real life model. As for example one can turn a piece of digital terrain into a physical model with the help of this plugin.

One can enter separate parameters for each axis for the slices to be generated. The sketchup users can easily reproduce curved surfaces of a model. The users can also specify the spacing to be used, the proper thickness of the slices and the direction to cut.

This plugin can be applied for rapid prototyping, creating molds for casting, forming parts for casting, creating models of ships, creating the base for a complicated terrain.

To utilize the plugin, choose a Group or Component, go to Plugins --> Slicer and then use the dialog box to organize how the slices should be created
