      Unfortunately with the basic inputbox the last set field is always highlighted...

          In this order of idea: a ruby who take the name of a group (or Component) selected then create the same "Layer name" and put the group (or Component) in this new Layer named will ne fine ๐Ÿ˜„

            Untested, but this should place all groups/components into a layer based on their name.

            
            model = Sketchup.active_model
            sel = model.selection
            
            sel.each { |e|
              next unless e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group) || e.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance)
              model.layers.add(e.name) if model.layers[e.name].nil?
              e.layer = model.layers[e.name]
            }

              Would it be possible to put the entry from the "Edit Menu" to the context menu?

                I will see if I can add support for UI Manager - so you can choose. There are people who prefer not to have their context menu filled with more items. So it's not easy to get a balance. But when the user can choose then it's not an issue any more.

                    I just saw this - very useful! I started recently using groups instead of components and I'm using this wonderful plugin - http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?t=9318
                    If there is a way to combine them into one - perfect!

                      Is there different functionality?

                            It has a drop-down list of 20 names to choose from

                              That seems very specific...
                              I still don't see what combination it is you're looking for.

                                Your plugin plus a drop-down list for the group names. Jim's plugin allows You to write 20 most used names in a text file for later use - useful in many fields where the parts are common - furniture and the like.

                                  Hey Thomas, love your plugins....
                                  With this one; do you think you could have the group added to a layer of the same name? If no layer, ask the user do you want to add a layer? Would be a great timesaver.....

                                  Thanks.

                                    It would be interesting if there was a box or drop down menu where it appeared the possibility to create and now include the object in a layer with the same name.

                                    Create components instead of groups might be interesting too.

                                          Thanks a lot for this plugin.
                                          I would love to see this plugin "Make Named Group" in the right-click-menu.
                                          Is that possible?

                                            It is possible - but if I where to add it I'd get requests about removing it from people who want to reduce the amount of items in the context menu. Right now I don't have the time to make a UI for controlling this option.
