Tags and Objects Overview

Tags are the organizational structure of model objects and define a set of identifiers (category and value). When you export a model through Revit or AutoCAD, or import an IFC file, you are creating tags and objects metadata.

Interact with tags to manipulate your model in a variety of ways, including: 

• Selecting a group of model objects
• Visualizing your model with styles associated to tags
• Creating custom tags to enhance a model's value
• Linking documents and photos to tags
• Creating coordination rules to detect clashes

Tags and Objects Panel

To access your project's tags and objects, select View from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Then, select Tags and Objects.

• This will launch the Tags and Objects panel

Objects Tab

The Objects tab within the Tags and Objects panel displays all the model streams that are available within your project.

Search for objects in the search bar or use auto-scroll to expand the list of tags that relate to your selected model object(s).

Tags Tab

The Tags tab displays all the tags imported with the model streams and any dynamic or custom tags created.
