Top Level Component or Group

[ktkoh]

I am trying to detect a top level Component or Group from a nested one.

if ((obj.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance) || (obj.is_a? Sketchup;;Group) &&
					(obj.parent.is_a? Sketchup;;Model))	
              popup.add_item(C2LAYSCENE) {
                #
                part_2_layer_command
                #
              }
              popup.add_item(C2SCNE) {
                #
                shopDrawingCommand
                #
              }
          end # Single part test  

This test fails and when the user has selected a nested comp/grp I still show these commands.

You just need to put the '||' check inside parentheses

if (((obj.is_a? Sketchup;;ComponentInstance) || (obj.is_a? Sketchup;;Group)) &&
					(obj.parent.is_a? Sketchup;;Model))

And it really should look like this:

if (obj.is_a?(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance) || obj.is_a?(Sketchup;;Group)) &&
obj.parent.is_a?(Sketchup;;Model)

Thanks that worked and after seeing it correct it makes sence.
