# Slice Graph

## About this Block

The Slice Lattice block turns an unthickened graph lattice into a slice stack of points. The resolution of these points is determined by the Layer Height. If part of the body falls below the Origin or specified Frame, check Include Negative Z to slice the entire lattice. If no Frame is determined, the body will be sliced from the origin.

| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Graph              | [Graph](../../../../block-documentation/types/graph)   | Graph lattice to slice.                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Layer height       | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | Spacing between slice layers.                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Include negative z | [Bool](../../../../block-documentation/types/bool)     | Option to include layers with negative Z values with respect to the frame, if any. By default, this block will slice only in the positive Z direction.                                           |
| Frame              | [Frame](../../../../block-documentation/types/frame)   | Frame to orient the slicing and act as the origin of the slice data. If no frame is provided, the slices are generated from the origin and parallel to the XY plane in the positive Z direction. |
