Hi David - thanks, that is actually very helpful. First - I can stop wasting time trying to figure out how to acheve it in .VB that I have yet to begin learning, second, for what I need I can use RhinoScript to get the list of IDs and paste them into Str component. Little way around but that gets me what I need. Much appreciated as always.
