Nice one that has worked well cheers for the help

Hi i am struggling with what i am sure is something really easy but after hours of search i can't work out how to get the name of the active component as a string. I can set the name in Component attributes.

This is what I've tried
model = Sketchup.active_model
selection = model.selection.name
but its no where near

Cheers in advance

Fred
