Hi McNeel,

I have a bunch of solids in different layers, I’m trying to group them depending on the name of the layer. For example. I have 2 layers called “Dorms 1”, “Dorms 2” and one layer called “Lobby”. I want to be able to select all the solids that the layer contains the word Dorm at the same time.

Thank you in advance

Hi -

You can use the command-line version of the SelLayer command and use a wildcard.
On the Mac, type -SelLayer and, in the String field, type Dorms*. That should select all geometry on layers “Dorms 1” and “Dorms 2”.

How can I make it in Grasshopper. I want to be able to select all the rooms with “Dorms” in the layer name.

When asking questions about Grasshopper, please post in the Grasshopper section.
Use the Geometry Pipeline component on the Params > Geometry tab.
