SketchUp Extension

SketchUp Tag Manager Extension

ZB Smart Tag is a SketchUp tag manager extension for assigning, replacing, selecting, removing, searching, and reviewing tags faster inside your model.

Features

Quick assign tags from the context menu

One click to assign your last used tag to the current selection. Eliminates repetitive menu navigation for high-frequency tagging.

Smart Context Menu

Right-click integration with visual checkmarks showing which tags are currently assigned. Choose, create, or manage tags without opening any panel.

Batch replace, select, and remove tags

Replace all uses of one tag with another across the whole model, select all objects with a specific tag, or remove tags entirely — in one action.

Advanced Search

Find objects by tag instantly, count tagged objects, and highlight them in the viewport to see exactly what is assigned where.

View tag statistics for your model

Full breakdown of tag usage across your model — object counts, percentages, and a model-wide analysis to understand how your tags are distributed.

Professional Tools

Copy and paste tags between objects, create new tags on the fly, and full undo/redo support throughout. Works on SketchUp 2017 and later.

Batch Operations

Replace tag: Replaces every use of one tag with another across the entire model. Useful when reorganising your tag structure.

Select by tag: Selects all objects currently assigned to a specific tag, making it easy to inspect or bulk-edit them.

Remove tag: Removes a tag assignment from selected objects or from the entire model.

All batch operations support undo with Ctrl+Z.

Tag Statistics

Access tag statistics from the context menu under ZB Smart Tag > Search & Analyse. The statistics panel shows:

  • Every tag in the model with object counts
  • Percentage of total tagged objects per tag
  • Untagged object count

Use this to audit your model and find incorrectly tagged or untagged geometry.
