      So I have a specific need... I have an imported CAD drawing that is just lines, no faces. I used the MakeFaces plugin to search the model and make faces out of all my closed geometry and it worked great. Now, I want to automatically make a group from each face without having to do it manually, does anyone know of a plugin that could do this? I search around and didn't see anything....

        Select all of the faces that you want to become groups [you don't need to be too careful as any edges etc will be ignored anyway]
        Copy&Paste this one-liner into the Ruby Console + <enter>

        n='Face#1';m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;s.to_a.each{|e|next if e.class!=Sketchup;;Face;g=m.active_entities.add_group(e);g.name=n;n.next!};s.clear

          I haven't used it but it seems to do what you want.
