      If I select a component and then start a script how can I find out what layer the selected component is on? I have looked at the ruby help and several script samples but could not find how to do this.

        Assuming you only have one component selected:

        Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].layer

          I added .name (Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].layer.name) and got exactly what I needed.

          Thanks
