| Y | Create slices along the Y axis, vertical slices created in the right view |
| Thickness | Slice Thickness, typically the thickness of material used |
| Number | Number of slices, automatically calculated by thickness and object dimensions |
| Offset | The distance from the bottom of the plate to the first slice. Typically 0.0, but can be used to adjust slice location to fit the model better |
| Layout | Creates separate geometry of the slices when enabled |
| Label | Labels slice geometry when enabled |
| Model | Creates a model to simulate the assembled piece when enabled |
