# Random Slice Random slice generates random slices in each individiual face in the selection. It works optimally on big faces and has many effects like inset, wireframe or just simple edge cuts.

Figure 1

Here are the redo properties and what they do: ### Solver This has 2 options: **Random** and **Shortest**. **Random** will generate an edge cut from any random edge in a face. **Shortest** will only generate an edge cut from the shortest edge in a face which results to largely square/rectangular shapes avoiding long thin faces.

Figure 2

### Direction This has 2 options: **Tangent** and **View**. **Tangent** will use the longest edge in a face to orient the edge cuts. **View** will use the the viewport look angle to for the edge cut direction.

Figure 3

### Origin This has 2 options: **Edge** and **XYZ**. **Edge** will use the tangent or longest edge in a face for the edge cut direction. **XYZ** will align the edge cuts in the global x, y and z axis. This property will only show up when using **Direction: Tangent**.

Figure 4

### Cut Amount This determines the number of edge cuts that can be generated.

Figure 5

### Cut Seed This randomizes the edge cuts using a seed number.

Figure 6

### Min Length This lets you set the minimum edge length for an edge to be considered for an edge cut. Lower values will generate longer thinner faces and higher values will result to bigger and squarish faces.

Figure 7

### Slide This lets you set the minimum and maximum offset for an edge cut which determines its placement along the edge it was generated.

Figure 8

### Mode This only shows up in edit mode and has 2 options: **Merged** and **Separate**. **Merged** will only result to edge cuts while **Separate** will result to insetted faces and a separate object like using the operator in edit mode.

Figure 9

### Outer Margin This creates a margin in the face selection boundary.

Figure 10

You can disable the **Uniform Outer Margin** toggle to randomize the margin values between the min and max properties.

Figure 11

### Margin Seed This only shows up when **Uniform Outer Margin** toggle is disabled and randomizes the outer margin values using a seed number.

Figure 12

### Inner Margin This creates a margin for each individual face newly created by the randomized edge cuts.

Figure 13

You can disable the **Uniform Inner Margin toggle** to randomize the margin values between the min and max properties.

Figure 14

### Margin Seed This only shows up when **Uniform Inner Margin** toggle is disabled and randomizes the inner margin values using a seed number.

Figure 15

### Thickness This determines the thickness or scaling of the extruded faces.

Figure 15

You can disable the **Uniform Thickness** toggle to randomize the margin values between the min and max properties.

Figure 16

### Thickness Seed This only shows up when Uniform Thickness is disabled and randomizes the inset thickness using a seed number.

Figure 17

### Depth This determines the depth or height of the extruded faces using a minimum and maximum value.

Figure 18

You can enable the **Uniform Depth** toggle to use a single value to control the depth property.

Figure 19

### Depth Seed This randomizes the depth using a seed number.

Figure 20

### Scale This lets you scale the extruded faces.

Figure 21

You can enable the **Uniform Scale** toggle to use a single value to control the scale property.

Figure 22

{% hint style="info" %} *This serves the same purpose as **Thickness** but the effect is clamped and will not reverse the faces when using too much values.* {% endhint %} ### Scale Seed This only shows up when **Uniform Scale** is disabled and randomizes the scale using a seed number.

Figure 23

### Proc This only works in object mode or when using **Mode: Separate** in edit. This has 2 properties: **Proc** and **Seed**. **Proc** uses a percentage slider to determine if an inset or extruded face will be removed. **Seed** will randomize the proc effect using a seed number.

Figure 24

### Material Index The **Material Index** property lets the resulting cloth sim mesh inherit a material from the active or work mesh. The default value of -1 means it will use the active material in the work mesh if that material exists. Using 0 and above means you will be using the 1st material in the material stack when using 0, the 2nd material when using 1 and so forth. {% hint style="info" %} *Using a material stack number when that material does not exist will assign no material to the resulting panel cut mesh.* {% endhint %} ### Use Mirror This uses the mirror modifier of the source mesh to create a symmetrical result. Disabling this will use an applied version of the mesh to create asymmetry instead.

Figure 25

### Wireframe This turns the edge cuts into a wireframe mesh instead.

Figure 26

### Limited Dissolve Uses limited dissolve on the selected faces to unify them making it easier and faster to create the edge cuts compared to the high resolution face selection.

Figure 27

### Max Angle The angle threshold for the **Limited Dissolve** property. ### Floater Mesh This only shows up when **Wireframe** is enabled. This disables all the ray visibility of the resulting mesh except for the camera.

Figure 28

In Cycles, this will make it look like the mesh is part of the object underneath it with reflections, shadows etc are disabled. ### Use Boundary Support face boundary when creating the wireframe mesh.
