Tag Explorer

Modified on Fri, 21 Feb at 1:02 PM


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:
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.


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 to browse Properties and Details
  • 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 to browse Properties and Details
  • 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 displays 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


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 manually, from the model and by merging simple tags

Different tag icons are dedicated to distinguish between them.
