How to copy a Tag folder and tag layers in it to another file

Yes, but I do believe if main file has folders setup and the copied entity has tag names that match tags that might be in folders they will be placed accordingly in the tags pallet / list.

Yes – just tried what Mike has suggested and it appears to work.

I created an extension to try to solve this problem. If anyone would like to test it, please send me a PM.

I’m interested to hear:

  1. If it solves the problem.
  2. If it has any bugs.
  3. If it works with your workflow.
  4. Suggestions for improvement.

*Tested in SU 2024 on Windows 11.

indeed, because the tags you’re bringing over to the main file will merge to the existing tags and if they are already in a tag folder, they’ll remain there. you’re right on this one.

in vanilla sketchup, it’s the only way (I see) to circumvent the tag folder thing :slight_smile:

I slightly modified your importexport .rbz plugin. Now, if you save the project, a tag structure export file will appear next to the main file, which can be imported together with the .skp file via custom import. I think it’s more convenient this way
TagStructureImporter.rbz (2.0 KB)

Hello!
Would it be possible to program the plugin to save several subfolders as well?
Because I could create, for example, a folder called “first floor” and within that folder place tags such as furniture, wall, door, window. And also within the “first floor” folder create a subfolder called “Structure” and place beams, pillars, slabs, etc. inside it.

Definately needs some expansion on this… time to evolve dont you expect?

Excellent!
