      I'm trying to do a material take-off for the building project.

      I have provided 4 web dialogs to extract data of aluminium , glass , panel ,and cap.

      My problem is that when I select all model , the codes can not differentiate each type of layer selection. For example , web dialog of aluminium report should select only groups or components in a layer " Aluminium " , not combine with other layers. How can I write a condition of model selection in a specific name ?

      selection.each { |s|
            
            is_group = s.is_a? Sketchup;;Group
            is_component = s.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
            
           
            if (is_component || is_group) && s.layer.visible?
      
             layers = model.layers
      	       new_layer = layers.add "Aluminium"
      }

          Wow ! I changed the codes and it can analyze the layers.

          Thank you very very much , Dan !!

           selection.each { |s|
                
                is_group = s.is_a? Sketchup;;Group
                is_component = s.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
          
          		if s.layer.name == "Aluminium"
          
          
          ----continue----
          
          }
