Here is an image of the modelScreenshot from 2023-09-25 14-57-36.pngand here is the sliced result showing where the path begins!

Hello Ryan,

It looks like you are trying to slice something thinner than the nozzle diameter.

You can try to work around this by using the "Thicken thin features" and its "Thickening ratio" to force IceSL to process such thin geometry.

Thank you Pierre,

I am going to see if that changes the path that is plotted. 
I am using a .9mm nozzle and the geometry is .91mm and I tried 1mm also. 
I want a single path fill and I want it to extrude much more, upwards to 2.5mm in width. 
I am using the post processing perimeters feature.

Again thank you for the reply. Giving it a try now.

Still with the thicken thin features it is behaving the same way.
