Hi …  
Apologies if this is a duplicate.  
Is there a way to select model space objects by layer and type - without installing a package - and without using a python script node?  
Thx for your patience,  
Kevin.

Not sure what you mean by ‘layer’…

But you probably mean something like this:

Hi,  
I don’t think there is a node for that, but you can filter objects out after selection.
