      Your code only does half the job.
      It adds a 'box' [24x12x16"] to the model's definitions.
      If you want to add an instance of that definition to the model you need to do more steps...

      For example...
      defn=list[-1] to get the last added definition
      then to add an instance setup:
      tr=Geom::Tranfsormation.new(ORIGIN)
      OR other transformations like different points or rotations etc.
      and use
      instance=Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_instance(defn, tr)
      NOW you have one instance of the cube component place at the 'ORIGIN' [0,0,0] or anywhere else you specify in 'tr'...
      😕

          The best way to ensure you correctly 'phrase' it is to add the working onclick attribute manually to a DC [let's say it's reference is 'group'], then use:
          att = group.get_attribute('dynamic_attributes', 'onclick', "???")
          This will return att as ??? if it's not set, OR att as the attribute string, and this is in a form that you know works.
          Then reuse that in your 'set'
          group.set_attribute('dynamic_attributes', 'onclick', att) to see if the syntax is right...

          BUT note this: even if the format is right, the way you are using nested " quote-marks WILL cause failures... USING
          **"**Set("Material","Red","Blue","Green")**"**
          WILL CAUSE AN ERROR - unless you either 'escape' the internal " with a , OR more simply you use a pair of ' to enclose the whole string...
          i.e.
          "Set(**\**"Material**\**",**\**"Red**\**",**\**"Blue**\**",**\**"Green**\**")"
          or
          **'**Set("Material","Red","Blue","Green")**'**
          You must use a pair of ' to enclose ", or a pair of " to enclose any ' in a string... OR 'escape' the nested quote-marks as " or '
          🤓

            It really helps if you include the error message when posting questions related to errors.

                      Hope this explains my requirement a little better.

                      I have a sunroom comprised of many groups: corner post, floor channel, door, window etc.

                      I want the user to select their sunroom color by clicking the model. In order to do this I need to gather all the sunroom groups into a parent group where I will use the onClick function to change the Material attribute. I expect the Material change will automatically cascade to the sub-groups but if not I can easily set the Material of the sub-groups to something like=Parent!Material

                      The question is how do I wrap all of my groups into this parent group?

                      Thom Thom thank you for the advice regarding start opertaion, but I do not need undo for this model, the user is starting with a blank canvas and will simply delete top level group if they have to start over
