Thanks! I dont have any plug ins for sketchup but found this on a google search. It worked for me!

Did you figure this problem out? I have the same issue and its driving me nuts.

That would probably be extremely helpful. I know a lot of people that could use something like this.

Thanks again!!

Incredible! Thank you so much. You just made my life a lot easier!

Ok, sorry that was unclear.

I can add a list to the inputbox but I cant get that list to show the layers in the model. I can make a list with just random terms that I picked. Like below.

list = ["item1|item2"]

So I guess my question is "How do I get a list in the inputbox that shows all the layers in the model?" I found that help file you showed me but I dont know how to use that. I tried:

list = [Sketchup.active_model.layers]

That didn't work. I'm not really sure how to get the list to use that Skethcup.active_model.layers

Once the list displays the layers in the model, how do I make the object go onto the layer selected in the inputbox?

Thanks for all your help. Sorry for all the questions.

Awesome! I have one more request. How could I get a list of layers in the model to define what layer it lives in. I can get a list but I can't get it to show the layers in the model or place that newly created group on the layer.

Thanks!!!!

I'm trying to create a ruby that when I create a group it just gives me a prompt to name the group. Just like it does for a component. I'm really struggling.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
