3DSlicer v1.1

I´ve updated my 3DSlicer definition.

3DSlicer v1.1

· New features
- Structure type and number Tags (X1, X2, X3…)
- Tag size and position control.
- Spacing between structures (X&Y) and between structures gruops.

· Bug fixes
- Duplicated lines.
- Untrimmed slots.
- Center drawing on 0,0,0.

Original source and updates (when available) -> Here

I will post a tutorial when I get it finished. :P

Here you are one shot of my first test with the previous version of my definition.

C&C are welcome. Have fun!

Impressive definition! Thank you so much for sharing your work - i'm sure it will be put to good use ;)

Hi Pablo,
The notches don't seem to be correctly cut out in the projected sections. I'm not sure how you end up with such a gigantic definition. Check the attached definition, i think it does more or less the same (maybe i missed something) plus builds the pieces in 3D.

Hopefully someone can make it even smaller (without scripting). I'm sure it's possible.

Thx Vicente,
I love your definition simplicity, but you make the notches using the midpoint (Z-axis) of the general bounding box and I think that´s not valid for all geometries.

I think my def is huge too, but I think it works almost fine. Tweaks are welcome! ;)

You are right, i only tested it with one object, so it probably has more shortcomings. I tried to change it so that each notch uses the midpoint of its corresponding section, but i cheated, i used a very small scripting component to flattens a list one path down.
Hopefully in the next release there will be more components for managing path structures.

Hi Dragan,

First of all, you should have a unique solid model (watertitgh). Also my def works with brep/surfaces and not meshes (if you have one big mesh you can convert to polysurface).

Once you have this, load the definition (right click -> save as...) and set the geometry component to your brep (meshconverted).
