Tag Explorer

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 toolbar on the left side of the screen.

By default, Tag Lists and Tags are hidden/toggled off in 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.

Types of Items in Tag Explorer

Tag Lists are represented with the multi-tag icon, while Tags are represented with the single tag icon.

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 using AI tools
• complex tags that consist of multiple elements (bounding boxes) - could be obtained manually by adding multiple bounding boxes to one tag, from the model and by merging simple tags

Different tag icons are dedicated to distinguish between them.

Search for Tags

The following attributes can be searched with the Tag Explorer search tool:
Note: by default the search is partial, which means that it finds all the names of the files which contain the information searched. 

• tag name
  

• adding a prefix "id:" UUID of the file allows to perform an exact search by id:
  
• narrowing down the search results to find the exact name of the file is done by adding a prefix "label:" and putting the name of the file searched in brackets "example". Please note that this search is case sensitive. 

• adding a prefix "type:" allows to search for a specific type of data. Supported keywords are tag,  taglist.
