One way of creating slice lines is by cutting a whole lot of parallel, equally spaced, slices through the mesh.

Figure 250. Slices Cut Horizontally

What you first need to do is decide in which direction you want to slice. CySlice always slices horizontally, so you should change your view of the mesh so that the slicing you get matches the slicing you want (see Figure 250).

It's a good idea to switch over to an orthographic projection when selecting the view. This way you can accurately line features up to get the mesh in the orientation that you want (e.g. making the base level).

The slice lines created are made up of connected line segments. These line segments are created where the cutting planes intersect with the mesh faces. If there are holes in the mesh, then there will be gaps in the slice lines.
