      What about defaulting it so the GROUP NAME field is highlighted first? Then you can immediately enter a group name, instead of selecting it, then naming it?

      hm... don't think I have control of that. Unless I swap the order of them.

      Or I could make a custom window. Will see.

            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?

                                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.

                                      While the cat's away, the mice will play

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