This plugin by thomthom kind of does it. https://extensions.sketchup.com/extension/1356b8f5-54c3-4df9-a6ed-28466ff41ede/transformation-inspector

Hellobaldaman, Here is an example code that will allow you to select all the edges: def select_all_edges(ents, edges) ents.grep(Sketchup;;ComponentInstance).each do |e| e.definition.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Edge).each do |e| edges << e end select_all_edges(e.definition.entities, edges) end end edges = [] mod = Sketchup.active_model sel = mod.selection select_all_edges(sel, edges) sel.clear sel.add(edges) Note that you do not have to select the edges to apply a ruby transformation on the edges.

You're right TIG, to be honest I am always too in a hurry on one hand and too lazy on the other hand to put the texts on the right layer... I will follow your advice. Many thanks for the prompt answer and for what you bring to the community!

Thank you very much! It works now!

You're right TIG, thank you

More serious use exemples to come asap.

I tried with a much simpler terrain and it works perfectly. Something must be wrong with my terrain. Thanks for all. Weather: Jingle bells, jingle bells... what a christmas mood. Bonnes fêtes

Gotcha! Thank you Tomasz

Yes i mean 3d max connection extension included in v2011 but when importing it destroys the SU structure. It takes only into account the bottom level component in case of nested components. That is the big issue.

TIG you made my day!!! It works perfectly, it will save me hours of work! Thank you very much! PS: This code could be integrated in Thomthom's classic "selection toys"

if there was a way to retrieve the bitmap information, that might be a gread addition to the component spray tool distribution by bitmap...
