Tags Panel

The Tags panel on the Review tab enables you to add and manage tags.

Tags combine the features of markups, viewpoints, and comments into a single, easy to use review tool. This allows you to tag anything you want to identify in the model scene. A viewpoint is automatically created for you, and you can add a comment and status to the tag.

For example, during a review session, you locate an item in the scene that is incorrectly sized or positioned. You can tag this item, stating the problem, save your review results as an NWF file, and pass the file to the design team. The design team can search the file, for any tags of status 'new', and locate your review comments. Once any necessary modifications are made to the drawing files, these can be reloaded into the *.nwf file, and the tag status can be changed accordingly. You can review this latest version of the NWF file, ensure all tags have been resolved and finally 'approve' them.

   If the current viewpoint is not already saved, then it will be saved automatically and named “Tag View X”, where “X” is the tag ID.
