Issue:
I am trying to export slices and I encountered an error that says “Slice data must be specified in positive XYZ space”Applies to:
- Exporting slices
Cause:
For the slicer to operate properly, the body must be located entirely in positive coordinate space. This error occurs when a body is in negative coordinate space. For example, the cube below is centered at (0,0,0). So the bottom half of the cube is technically in negative coordinate space.
Solution:
Use the Translate Object block to move the body into entirely positive coordinate space, or change the original origin of the body. You can see in the photo below how applying a Translate Object block eliminates the error message. Section 1 contains our original cube at (0,0,0), while Section 2 translates the block to (10,10,10) and re-slices. These new slices are able to be successfully exported.
