slice is something unavailable in openscad.

It's intention is to take a 3D model and output a set of SVGs that will be individual layers that can be cut with a laser or CNC machine.

You can play around with these settings to distort the model, but if you want it to be accurate, set layer to the thickness of your material.

Also, it shift the model z -layer mm for each step, and will create the svg from all points at z=0 for that step. This means that it starts at z=0, and anything below z=0 will not be accounted for at all. Also, it will only go as high as height, so if you create a cube(v: [100, 100, 100], center:true), half of it will be below the z axis and never get rendered. It will have 50mm above the z-axis, but if you set height to 25, you'll lose the topp half of that. Conversley, if you set height to 100, you'll end up with half your SVGs being empty.

• height: total height in mm
• layer: height per layer
• name: file_prefix
