Selecting only Lock Groups

[ken]

Is it possible to select only locked groups, so I could separate the locked from the unlocked?

Ken, thanks in advance

Sure. Just query the component.locked? or group.locked? methods.

FYI - there is a current bug that allows a locked group or comp to be moved by Ruby (unless it's been fixed by a recent maintenance release that I've chosen to ignore).

Thanks Todd for your response. Guess I put my question in the wrong group. I was wondering if there was a Ruby Script to just select locked groups or components.

Guess there isn't as of now.

Again thanks.

Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.each{|ent|
if(ent.typename=="Group" && ent.locked?)
Sketchup.active_model.selection.add ent
end
}

paste the above into a ruby console (I suggest using Jim's Webconsole) and Execute

I can code that in one statement....

Sketchup.active_model.selection.add((Sketchup.active_model.entities.collect {|ent| ent if ent.locked?}).to_a.compact)
