Ghost and Disappearing Tags

Tilting Cradle -Question.skp (425.3 KB)

The screen shot shows a scene where two tagged components are either partially or totally missing. You can see that in they are in the tag folder called “Tilting Parts.” The component that is partially there is a Wingnut that was made unique to appear in the scene. The other missing component in a 1/4” Threaded Rod. Both parts are in the Tag Folder. How do I make them appear? Both parts do appear when all tags are visible.

You’ve managed to tag some of the geometry in the model. Possibly you exploded a tagged component. I fixed the incorrect tag usage on the geometry.

Tilting Cradle -Tags Fixed.skp (410.2 KB)

I was having trouble getting tags into the correct folder. As you can see I finally did manage to get them into the correct folder and then they didn’t show correctly. I must have gotten incorrect tag usage somehow when I was trying to straighten everything up. I do wish it were easier to get move tags into a folder. It would help if you could cut and paste them. Sometimes I have to wait until after I model every component before making the tag folders, because I don’t know how I want to organize the scenes until then. Best would be if I could anticipate and make the folders as I model.:thinking: Thanks for the response and the fix.

If you are going to use tag folders I would suggest waiting to create the tags until after the folders are created. Then select a folder and create the tags to go in it. After the tags are created, give them to the components.

That’s really thinking ahead. I will have to practice that.
