Slice View showing cross-section of a model
Slice View cuts a virtual cross-section through your model so you can see the internal structure. Especially useful after hollowing or adding lattice infill.

​
When to use this

  • Verify that hollowing created even wall thickness
  • Check that lattice infill looks correct inside the model
  • Inspect internal geometry for unexpected features
  • Visualize how your model will look when sliced for printing

​
Settings

​
Slice axis

X, Y, or Z — the direction to slice through.

​
Position

Drag the slider (0–100 percent) to move the slice plane through the model.

​
Slice Thickness (mm)

Thickness of the visible slice. Range 1–50 mm (default 10).

​
Highlight Infill

Toggle (on by default) that caps the cross-section in steel-blue so the cut surface stands out.

​
Step by step

1

Select the Slice tool

Click Slice View in the Inspection Tools section.
2

Choose an axis

Select X, Y, or Z.
3

Drag the slider

Move through the model to inspect different cross-sections.
4

Highlight the infill

Keep Highlight Infill on to cap the cross-section in steel-blue for clearer visualization of the cut boundary.

Tips

  • Try all three axes to get a complete picture of the interior
  • After applying lattice, slice through to verify the pattern fills the interior evenly
  • Use this alongside Object Info to understand your model’s internal structure
