1. Assigning Object Tags
Object Tags let you tag elements or areas individually – independent of the existing object hierarchy. Examples:
Checks or approvals by the structural engineer
Dividing construction sections (takt planning)
Restrictions or special requirements
How to assign a Tag:
Select a building element in the model.
Right-click →
Manage tags.Enter a new tag and add it.
The label is now linked to the element.
The same workflow applies to entire areas.
2. Managing and removing Object Tags
Already created labels are available for other elements as well.
To remove a label, open Manage labels again and untick the checkbox.
3. Filtering by Object Tags
Once elements have labels, you can filter tasks or views by them.
In the Lookahead plan: select filter type → Object Tag.
In the Viewer: use the plus button to search for labels.
Example: Show only tasks linked to the label Approval structural engineer.
4. Object Tags in work preparation
Object Tags are also useful in work preparation.
Go to Object grouping.
Add a new criterion.
Select Object Tag.
This way, you can structure objects that don’t yet contain all the required information in the model (e.g. precast walls).
