[REQ] replace all similar groups with component

[Rich O Brien]

More leaves on one quad. Less quads.

And don't forget that the Sdmitch Plugin allow you to take several different components as "Source" for a better tree leaves simulation!

TIG has also some snipsets for this sort of things
(all codes must be on one line in the ruby console!!!

Transform objects of a selection in components!

m=Sketchup.active_model;
m.start_operation("Faces>Compos");
n=m.active_entities;m.selection.to_a.each{|e|(g=n.add_group(e.all_connected);
g.to_component.definition.name="FaceSet#1")if e.valid? and e.parent==n.parent and e.class==Sketchup;;Face};
m.commit_operation 

Tranform any faces in components

m=Sketchup.active_model;
n=m.active_entities;
m.selection.to_a.each{|e|(g=n.add_group(e);
g.to_component.definition.name="Face#1")if e.class==Sketchup;;Face} 

all faces of a selection are transformed in groups
(except groups or components yet existing)

m=Sketchup.active_model;n=m.active_entities;m.selection.to_a.each{|e|n.add_group(e)if e.class==Sketchup;;Face};
