    Well that pretty well fixed me! I just don't think a guitar would look good shaped like a boat .......on the other hand wallcrawler wanted us to get outside of the box.......hmmm.

    Gary will it work for any application? For instance......I make a solid of the guitar body that is too tall and lay the shape from the end and side view...would the slice command fix it...as in take out the uncessary solid above the profiles that were drawn for the end and side view?

    Mike

    .......did wallcrawler say out of the box or out of the boat

    TRIM! Your looking for the trim comand. You can create a surface that slices thru your solid and then trim the solid on either side.

    question - i am looking into a way to slice a 3d model into many thin layers to start work on some additive rapid prototyping experiments. i want to try and bring additive RP to the DIY lexicon. in addition to the flatbed gantry printing....

    anyone know about slicing a 3d model into.. say.. .05" thick slices...

    duluth I didn't need an egg! Ok give me a little bit and I will do a screen shot, I hope, to kinda show what if I understand or not.

    edited: that was supposed to be "what or if"

    vac check into the rapid prototyping arena. I think that is how they lay a plastic or wax prototype. It might just be what you are looking for. Way beyond my comprehension or understanding either .

    Vac,

    In Rhino you could the use splitting command. Create a surface that would cut to the extent of the object. Then use the array command to place the surface every .050. Then split. At that point you could pull out the individual segments.
