Name a Group after its Layer

[rossthompson]

Hi,

Is it possible to automatically name a group (or a component) after the layer it is on?

I understand this should be possible with a fairly simple ruby script. Has anyone come across one?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ross, like bmike, all you need is a single statement entered into the Ruby Console.

Sketchup.active_model.entities.each{|e| e.name=e.layer.name if e.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance) || e.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)}

This will give any component instance or group the name of the layer it is on.
