Align Slice Modifier Gizmo(Plane) to 3 points

The script allows you to pick 3 points in the scene. The slice gizmo of the slice modifier of the selected object will be aligned to the picked points. When you run the script the SNAP will be automatically turned ON.

If the Shift key is pressed when you run the script the Slice plane will be aligned to the currently active grid. Works best if the script is ran from a toolbar button.

Version 1_1 - align only to 3 points

Version 1_2 - align to 3 points or to active grid

I found a bug

I like the script you wrote very much, but when the script works, when choosing the adsorption vertex, using the mobile tool to move will make 3DMAX error, movement will become difficult to control, must turn off 3DMAX and reopen..

The new version of the script works properly with rotated objects/

With rotated objects it is not working correctly.

Rotation?

Are you sure this is working correctly for rotated objects?

very nice

This should work with all modifiers with such a gizmo setup!

I'm still far far away from the SDK. :) Maybe the author of the PolygonMap can write such a plugin. I don't know if this plugin can cap holes and add approriate mapping.

Possibly you are right. Maybe

Possibly you are right. Maybe it's time for you to learn some of the SDK? You know I love you! You build that better slice mod and I'll buy it!

I think that someone have to write it, because AD will never do it.

Nice one. I've considered

Nice one. I've considered doing this for a while. What I'd really like is a totally new Slice Modifier :)
