Tag colors only works on ~70% of all tagged items

I have double and triple checked the assignments and colors… for some reason the tag colors (when toggled) are only applied correctly to about 70% of all the items.

For instance: I have different shades of brown for graded and non-graded wooden planks. In the beginning I had the same darker color on all of the planks, but I have since started applying a lighter color to the wooden elements that are not graded.

…but this only works on about 70% of all the non-graded planks that I add to the light brown color tag… (the other 30% still shows the darker brown color , even though they are in the light brown color group).

I have tried restarting Sketchup multiple times, but to no avail… has anyone else experienced this?

Most likely incorrect tagging. Make sure no raw geometry is tagged.
Attach your model if you want a fuller answer.

Ah, that was it - raw geometry was tagged!

Is there any way to mass-assign “Untagged” to all raw geometry?

Tig’s Default Layer.

If you want to practice without plugins, try this:

1 - Make certain that the whole model is visible. You can use Zoom Extend, for example.

2 - Open the Outliner Window.

3 - Select all groups and components (click on the first one then Shift-click on the last one.

4 - Click out of the Outliner Window.

5 - Press the Space Bar to activate the Select Tool.

6 - Press and hold down the Shift Key to Add/Subtract from the selection.

7 - While still holding the Shift Key down, do a Window Select to select the whole model. The already selected groups and components are unselected. Only raw geometry remains selected.

8 - Press the Delete Key.

This would delete all raw geometry, not assign untagged to it!?!?

What you describe is how to remove stray or loose geometry, useful but not appropriate in this case.

Sorry, wrong indication. I should have written:

Make sure that Entity Info is open and, after keeping only ungrouped geometry selected, assign it to Untagged in Entity Info.

Yes, once again this works for loose or stray geometry, but does not address incorrectly tagged raw geometry within groups and components.
