Tag Tool

  • Replace Matching () - Using this tool mode replaces the tag assigned to an entity, and all other entities it shares a tag with, with the selected tag.
  • Tag All Instances () - Applies the selected tag to an entity and any copies of that entity.

The Tag tool works with all available iPad input methods. For more information on how to use tags in your model, see Controlling Visibility with Tags.
