Slice Behavior Fail

The default Slice Behavior is "Positive Fill" and this is now th fourth or fifth time that method failed. I switched to Alternating fill each time which cured the problem. Nothing like this ever happened under V4. This most recent occurance was particularly costly to us and I'm wondering if we should change the default to Alternating. In the meantime your code guys should address the problem.

Re: Slice Behavior Fail

We have also seem a lot of parts where the new V5 slicing behavior works much better than V4. For most of the parts I have helped customers with, the new positive fill mode tends to work better, but alternating fill might work better depending on how you design your parts in CAD. Thankfully, you can pick whichever option works best for you.

If you're interested, there's a longer article about the different options here (the 2nd half of the article has many useful examples):
