I want to select every object in modelspace and change their layer to, say, 0. I am trying this screenshot but the objects are listed as strings and not real objects. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/3/03852165c98a4da32676d24a0436fd3423902cfd.png) ---

Hi there, you’re on the right path, looks like you’re missing the “block” input on the all objects on layer node, it needs document.current node connected to modelspace node and connect modespace node to the block ---
