Thank you for the reply Mateusz.

But what I need is a list of Layers, that I will input somehow in some component/parameter, which will in return select all objects under that layer in Rhino.

As far as I see "geometry pipeline" can only select object which belong to one Layer, at the time.

Even if "geometry pipeline" component can select multiply Layers, still that means that I would need to type their names in "Layer" text box, which is not what I am looking for. I want to input the names of those Layers as the preassigned list. Not to type them manually.

Is that possible?

Try my HDT utilities (or horster reference) paired with the following simple C# script:

A = doc.Layers;
