SketchUp Extension

ZB Smart Tag

Advanced tag assignment and management for SketchUp — one-click quick assign, batch operations, search, and model-wide tag statistics.

Features

Quick Assign

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 Operations

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.

Tag Statistics

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.

Manual

Requirements & Installation

Requires SketchUp 2017 or later. Works on Windows and macOS.

Install from Extension Warehouse.

Basic Usage
  1. Select one or more objects in your SketchUp model.
  2. Right-click to open the context menu.
  3. Choose ZB Smart Tag from the menu.
  4. Select your action:
    • Quick Assign — applies your last used tag instantly
    • Choose tag — pick from existing tags (checkmarks show current assignments)
    • Create new tag — create and assign in one step
    • Batch manage — replace, select by, or remove tags
    • Search & analyse — find objects and view statistics
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.
