(SOLVED)plugins to move nested components to "parent" layer?

[panixia]

i'm modeling some parts of a project for people that needs them to import within 3ds max, and of course i don't know anything about the way max work
i organized my layer/components/subcomponents/hyerachy as i usually do to have the most comfort and proper control over selecting/hiding/editing within sketchup, you know.. nested subcomponetns may be in a different layer than their "parent" component, geometry on layer 0, etc etc..
they ask to save for version 7 and it semms to import fine, also.. texture mapping/transparency/smoothed edges are exported in a proper way..

i see my components are actually imported on their side in some funky nuclear-meltdown-messed-up-multimix-material or something like this.. i don't remember how the hell they call this odd thing, but looks like they can manage this (don't ask me how ) and this is ok..

BUT they are telling me only some parts/submodels wich keep useful layers information after import..
as far i can see, the only parts properly layered on their hand are the components in which every nested and "subnested" components are in the same layer as the parent one..

NOW.. they are asking me to respect this scheme and as far as i know, the only way to do this is to manually dig into the components and nested components and nested and nested.. and reassign manually to the parent layer using the "entity info" box..
this is pretty much a time consuming pain in the ass..

Is there some ruby script or workaround to dig faster into component hierachy to put all of the nested and sub nested components in the proper level AT ONCE???
it would be veeeery helful..

OR there is some tutorial for good sketchup modeling practices (grouping layering assignin materials) to have in mind when modeling skp model for 3ds users to easily import?

OR does anyone know if there is something they could do on theyr hand to fix the issue

thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english..
