  1. What were 'Tags' called in older versions of SketchUp (before 2020)?

    Answer: Layers

    Tags were called Layers in SketchUp versions before 2020; the name was changed to Tags to better reflect their function as visibility organizers rather than actual drawing layers.

  2. What is the primary purpose of Tags in SketchUp?

    Answer: Controlling the visibility of groups and components

    Tags are used to toggle the visibility of assigned groups and components on or off, helping manage complex models.

  3. In SketchUp, what is the best practice regarding raw geometry (edges and faces) and Tags?

    Answer: Keep all raw geometry on the Untagged (default) tag and only assign groups/components to other tags

    SketchUp best practice is to leave all raw geometry on the Untagged tag and only assign groups and components to custom tags, preventing geometry-merging issues.

  4. What does the pencil icon next to a tag name in the Tags panel indicate in SketchUp?

    Answer: That tag is the active drawing tag where new geometry will be placed

    The pencil icon marks the active tag; any new geometry drawn will be assigned to this tag, so it should always remain on Untagged.

  5. How do you assign a group or component to a Tag in SketchUp?

    Answer: Select the group/component and choose the tag in the Entity Info panel or Tags panel

    Selecting a group or component and changing its Tag in the Entity Info panel (or using the Tags panel) reassigns it to that tag.

  6. What is a 'Tag Folder' in SketchUp?

    Answer: A container for organizing multiple tags into a named group within the Tags panel

    Tag Folders let you nest tags under a folder name in the Tags panel, providing organizational hierarchy for complex models with many tags.
