Writing multipatch features to Sketchup groups

Hello,

 

 

I have a number of 3D-buildings saved in a multipatch layer in an ESRI file geodatabase. These buildings are saved with unique object ID-numbers and a few other attributes. I need to create a FME workspace that reads these objects, and outputs them as object groups in a skp-file (local coordinate system, Sketchup 2013).

 

 

I have created a workbench that reads the multipatches and writes them to their own layer in a skp-file using the GeometryPropertySetter and a attribute called "sketchup_layer_name" (="Buildings").

 

But, instead of being written as sketchup groups (i.e. a group of surfaces that equals a multipatch), each surface from the multipatches are being written as separate faces.

 

I am able to select all the faces that belong to a certain building, rightclicking them and clicking "Create Group", but since I am working with severeal thousand buildings I need a way to automate this process.

Any help is greatly appreciated :).
