      Hy!
      before trying to code some plugin, I have decided to ask if is already any for my purpose.
      What I want is to convert some components into groups. Similar to context menu -> Make Component, but to convert all selected components in individual groups.
      If anyone did this before, please let me know. Thanks.

        I haven't looked at this in a long time, and after looking at it again I'm not sure why I did it the way I did.

        
        m=Sketchup.active_model
        inss=m.active_entities.find_all{|e| e.typename=="ComponentInstance"}
        inss.each_with_index { |ins, ind|
          name = ins.definition.name
          g = m.entities.add_group ins.explode.find_all{|e| e.typename=="Face"}
          g.name = name
          #g.to_component
        }
        
        

        Hi
