Identify groups by its attributevalue and delete them

Andreas

It can be one or more groups of all groups in Modell.

I want to check against attribute value.

My SU Ruby API experience is a little bit more than rookie .

If the instance has the attribute rather than its definition... then it'll be

That works fine for all groups!
How must the code be changed, if only will be referencing to the selected groups?

Thank you!
That works fine!

I want to use it also to another job.
Textures should be assigned to the groups:


Sketchup.active_model.selection.each { |e|
  next unless e.is_a?( Sketchup;;Group )
    if e.get_attribute('section', 'key') == 0
      e.material = "oak_trans"
    elsif e.get_attribute('section', 'key') == 1
      e.material = "oak_long"
    end
}

That works with the selected groups.
But the groups one or more level lower will not be edit.
What have to be changed to use it for the groups into the groups?

Make a recursing method - something like this:
