Thanks, guys. I Hope I can get this to work.

Click on the link in the first message. Then read the directions. He says download and isntall progressbar from smustard.com and his plugin. To "install" a plugin, if it is an .rb file, just drop it into your SketchUp "plugins" folder. If it is a .zip file, extract it to your plugins folder keeping the same folder structure in place that exists inside the zip file. Then restart SketchUp and it will work if you did it right. Good luck, Chris

@dvonhausen said: Nice tool display. It incorporates something I am trying to do in ruby. When I have several entities selected, how can I create a group of the selected entities? I know how to do it with this tool but how do I push the "Make Group" button programmatically using a ruby plugin? Can't find a send_action that works. ToolsInDialog appears to be doing it in the code somewhere. I guess you would have to call the method 'groupin', and luckily i dont think file referencing is needed it this case because ruby inherits every loaded method name on starting the application.
