@fredo6 said: For instance, if you pick interactively the nested component, the PickHelper will give you the chain of grouponents. Expanding upon this use of the PickHelper class ... This is using the Sketchup::PickHelper#path_at() method. It returns the instance path from the active entities context (for the given index in the list of pick paths.) To get the full path, you will need to add the pick path to the model's active edit path (if it is not nil.) edit_path = model.active_path ? model.active_path ; [] full_path = edit_path + pick_path Then, you can use a little known method in the InstancePath class to get the transformation ... ipath = Sketchup;;InstancePath.new(full_path) trans = ipath.transformation See: Sketchup::InstancePath#transformation

@mr_creator said: Next I need to move everything to the origin of global coordinates. group1 = entities.add_group This line of code will create a new group at the origin of entities. If this is the top level model's entities, then this is the global origin. If it is some other component's or group's entities, then it is their local origin. @mr_creator said: group1.transformation.origin have zero coordinates, but group1 is not at zero. This confirms then that group1's origin is at the origin of the active edit context's origin.

Thanks for your answer a very long time later I hadn't passed by for a long time!

Copy/Paste this code into the Ruby Console to rename all of the model's definitions, with 3 characters off the end of their names - change i=3 to another value as desired... m=Sketchup.active_model;m.start_operation('chop defns',true);c=0;m.definitions.each{|d|i=3;n=d.name;(1.times{n=n.chop};d.name=n;c+=1)};puts"#{c} definition-names chopped.";m.commit_operation; Or use this code to strip 5 characters off the names' beginnings - again edit i=5 as desired... m=Sketchup.active_model;m.start_operation('trim defns',true);c=0;m.definitions.each{|d|i=5;n=d.name;n=n[i..-1];d.name=n;c+=1)};puts"#{c} definition-names trimmed.";m.commit_operation;

Wow. Works flawlessly. Tested on different scenarios with different hierarchy and nested objects. Also - as expected - everything is 'taggable' in Layout. Thank You very much. [image: zeyu_itsflawless.png]
