        thank you TIG.. but in my case i want to group every face in the model.

        for example: i have 63 face in a sofa model. i want 63 seperate group/component in one click.

        for your ruby script, it only make component touching all faces.

        how can i achieve that?

          Copy+Paste the one-liner below into a Notepad++ file.
          The reason for that is so you can edit the start part n="???", this sets the name of each group Face#1, Face#2 etc... If you are processing several parts it might be useful to have differing names ? They list in the Outliner in alphanumerical order.

          Select what you want to separate into groups - only faces are processed so no need to be too careful, just ensure the faces you want to group are included.

          Copy all of the text.
          Open the Ruby Console.
          Paste the text.
          Press <enter>.

          Now all selected faces are made into separate groups.
          It is one step undo-able...

          n="Face";m=Sketchup.active_model;s=m.selection;fs=s.grep(Sketchup;;Face);s.clear;a=m.active_entities;m.start_operation("~",true);fs.each_with_index{|f,i|g=a.add_group(f);g.name="#{n}##{i+1}"};m.commit_operation

                    Has this ever been officially made into a plugin for the masses?

                      I've tried several times but it doesn't work. I don't understand where is my fault 😞.
                      I cannot see any shortcut 😞

                      I use SU 17 thanks for helping

                        fix it in your bio (currently showing SU8) then you wouldn't have to remember to type it

                            hello,

                            I am looking to generate Groups instead of Components as output, also sometimes the components generated by the script are pieces of the same whole element, for example a chair is autogenerated in components separately by each leg, arm, rest but all of them must be the same group. It is like a nested components
