Hey guys,
I have a set of floors that are beeing generated from a file that I have created. However, so far the highest floor had to become the roof manually. I would like to develop a gh snippet which automatically checks the floors by their height, takes the one at the top and changes its layer.
Do you guys have an idea on how to do that? I fear this must be done in Python
Would appreciate any help.

I don’t use Human. If you want a HUman based solution, we can add the tag in the topic description.
You can bake a copy of the surface to a new layer with EleFront but deleting needs to be done manually or with Python, as you mentioned.

Hey Martin,
a Human based solution would be okay as well, as long as it works on its own.

Can’t assist you with Human but I’m sure someone else will chime in soon.
I dont have Human, but if you replace Martins Python script with this:
import scriptcontext
import Rhino as rh
li = rh.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Layers.Find("roof",0)
scriptcontext.doc = rh.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc
if delete:
doc_ob = scriptcontext.doc.Objects.Find(roof)
att = doc_ob.Attributes
att.LayerIndex = li
rhino_ob = scriptcontext.doc.Objects.Add(doc_ob.Geometry, att)
scriptcontext.doc.Objects.Delete(doc_ob)
scriptcontext.doc = ghdoc
it should work.
Here is a solution purely based on Elefront (no C#, no Python)
As long as the GH is opened, any surface add/deletion/move will be taken into account and the highest floor automatically moved to roof layer, the others to floors layer. No bake needed.

Thank you guys!
I checked out all your solutions. They all seem to work quite well. I also found an additional solution prior to baking the floors in the first place. So the problem is solved :). Now they get sorted and after that baked for the first time.
