Repaired SimpleFrame and code used

mod = Sketchup.active_model ent = mod.active_entities sel = mod.selection SKETCHUP_CONSOLE.clear ent.grep(Sketchup;;Group).each{|g| edg = g.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Edge).select{|e|e.faces.count==1} edg.each{|e|e.find_faces}; remove=[] g.entities.grep(Sketchup;;Edge).each{|e| remove<<e if e.faces.length==2 && e.faces[0].normal.parallel?(e.faces[1].normal)} ent.erase_entities(remove.reverse) }

Select groups.

Copy and paste the following code into the Ruby Console and press Enter.

mod = Sketchup.active_model > ent = mod.active_entities > sel = mod.selection > sel.grep(Sketchup;;Group).each{|g| > pt = Geom;;Point3d.linear_combination(0.5,g.bounds.corner(4),0.5,g.bounds.corner(7)) > ent.add_text(g.name,pt,[0,0,g.bounds.depth]) > } >

Oh MAN! Sorry for the incredibly late reply on this. Thank you! Its crazy that sketchup doesnt have a bult in feature to do BOM with bubble callouts etc.

OK, now we are in business, thank you thank you, this is exactly what I need.

That's not a slight work around. CutList is designed to work that way.

You could make a set of colors with custom names to apply to the different components. If you apply them to the faces in the components, you only need to do that to a single instance and all other instances will get the same treatment. Save your collection of customized colors for later use.
