The extension creates and adds tags to selected groups and components - or just creates tags without applying them if nothing is selected. Use with shortcut (Tools/Make Tag/Make Tag) for quick tag creation.
The Quick Tag Dialog displays a list of available tags for quickly tagging selected items. Use with a shortcut (Tools/Make Tag/Quick Tag Menu) to quickly access your tags list. Alternatively, use right click → Assign Tag to see tags. Option to keep the dialog open if tagging/re-assigning tags to multiple objects.
You’re too kind and thank you!
I have a lot to learn about SU and even more about Blender, but… it’s interesting and a pleasure to learn them, especially to work together complementary.
Yes. I think others were trouble-shooting that… so I came up with the second ‘mini’ dialog. It’s ‘quick’ but not close. I tend to have it next to the side/trays and move the model view so objects are closer to the menu. But that’s not great. I might be able to do something so it ‘closes when you’re done’ without the extra button click.
But first I have another idea I’m trying to make… I’ll be back
But then the two t-shirts would say “Save Sleep” and that’s what I’ve already been doing: saving sleep for later
This new tag list has some promise: it opens at the cursor and closes when a tag is applied. The formatting is a little off yet but with some finagling it could be passable. That’ll have to wait 'til after I get some sleep.
Looks great. You solved the window/list being too long.
Did you include the “off” and “apply to all scenes” ?
I added that specifically as to not then foul up existing scenes.
Instead of having to then remember what tags you have created… and then up date the scenes as needed. Just simple time saver.
If you want the code I wrote, let me know…
Great work!
Keep these extensions free everyone.
These tools are needed.
Hey, thanks, no! I think I’ve seen some of your ‘apply to all scenes’ (an maybe ‘off’) but I didn’t get into it. Fouling up scenes does not sound good so maybe flip that my way.
This is a great extension! It looks like the old “Put on Layer” extension that I’ve had as an invaluable tool in my arsenal for years.
The big question for @3DxJFD : Does this put EVERYTHING inside a Group or Component on the selected (or created) Tag? Or just the ‘top level’ object (but the objects inside the Group or Component remain on other Tags?
I prefer for it to dig all the way down and put EVERYTHING in the Group or Component on the selected Tag, because otherwise you have weird behavior of things inside the Group or Component flipping on and off when toggle a Tag, and I find that hard to control.
I’ll download and try it out, but just thought I’d ask, for others to see as well.
NO. Selected groups and components are tagged. The geometry inside is not tagged. Also, usually there will be a ‘filter’ on the selection so that if you accidentally select geometry (e.g., a stray edge) when selecting groups or components the geometry is ignored. It’s a sort of defense against creating loads of tagged geometry.
That’s a little more niche. Probably doable with a little option checkbox: Tag all nested groups and components.
These tagging extensions (and the “Make” group, component, etc.) are supposed to be limited utilities that do few things… but maybe your suggestion can be added.
Thanks for taking a look!
That reminds me @Blatter_DuBois : I built out the cursor-point version of the extension and will send it your way. But I couldn’t get the on-screen tag list to scroll (so it can go offscreen). It could have the options you mention added though.
That’s a little more niche. Probably doable with a little option checkbox: Tag all nested groups and components.
@3DxJFD : That would be AMAZING to have this option, and cover either workflow: Those who want to leave sub-groups/components on their original Tag, and those people (like me) who want to move EVERYTHING NESTED inside the group/component to a specific Tag.
@3DxJFD : YES…this looks like exactly the behavior I’m looking for! It seems to be digging down through the group and putting everything inside on the same Tag.
I actually LIKE the checkbox on the front. I think it’s simple and clearly explains what it does, and you can easily know how to turn off that behavior and keep nested groups on their respective Tags.
My take on some of your ideas.
It’s 11 AM for me, but I think it’s the middle of the night for you, time to rest for a good day.
