Tag Explorer

Modified on Thu, 28 Nov at 9:59 AM


The Tag Explorer gives access to tag lists, individual tags and complex tags in Cintoo. It is accessible in 3D View by clicking the Tag Explorer icon   from the Explorer tool bar on the left side of the screen.



  • By default, Tag Lists and Tags are hidden/toggled off in the Tag Explorer. Click the Show All icon to toggle on all Tag Lists and Tags, or click the checkbox next to an individual Tag List to toggle it on.


  • Tag Lists are represented with the multi-tag icon, while Tags are represented with the single tag icon. 
  • The following attributes can be searched with the Tag Explorer search tool:
    • ID
    • Description
    • Metadata


  • When selecting a Tag List, the Tag Explorer lists several possible actions:
    • Information: Opens the information panel on the right-hand side of the screen and allows you to browse General information and Properties
    • Delete: Delete the selected Tag List
    • Edit: Opens the Edit Tag List panel on the right-hand side of the screen
    • Download: Download the selected Tag List in CSV format
    • Create a Work Zone and Move Selected Node: Moves the selected Tag List to a newly created Work Zone folder
    • Create Tag: See Create a Tag
    • Import Tag List: See Import a List of Tags
    • AI Detection: See Automatic Tag Detection and Classification with Cintoo AI


  • When selecting a single Tag, the Tag Explorer lists several possible actions:
    • Information: Opens the information panel on the right-hand side of the screen and allows you to browse General information and Properties
    • Delete: Delete the selected Tag
    • Edit: Opens the Edit Tag panel on the right-hand side of the screen, and switches the 3D View to "Bounding Box Edit Mode"
    • Share: See Share a Tag
    • Set as Needs Validation: Flags the selected tag indicating that additional validation is needed.
    • Duplicate Tag: See Duplicate a Tag


  • Right-clicking on a Tag List or single Tag will display several Visibility and Navigation Actions:
    • Visibility Actions include Show, Hide, Isolate, and Crop Inside/Outside
    • Navigation Actions include the ability to Look at, Go to, Set as default view, and Focus in Scan mode
  • By default, the closest scan setup position to the Tag, which is automatically computed by Cintoo, is set as the Default View for that Tag. See Creating Tags in Cintoo and  Using Tags in Cintoo for more details.


Tags come in 2 different forms depending on the structure:

  • simple tags that consist of one element - could be obtained by manual tagging, importing a list of tags and AI tools
  • complex tags that consist of multiple elements (bounding boxes) - could be obtained from the model

Different tag icons are dedicated to distinguish between them.
