Summary: Object User Tag plug-in for Rhino 4 and 5
Purpose
This plug-in lets you attach, detach, search, and view custom tags. It is a very early beta version with a lot of missing functionality and quite probably some serious bugs. Do not use this on important files!
Available commands
The plug-in adds a new page to the Object Properties dockbar, and it exposes several commands:
| Command name | Explanation |
| otAttach | Attach a new tag to a number of objects (or replace existing tags with an identical name) |
| otDetach | Detach all tags that match the given search filters from the selected objects |
| otClearAllTags | Detach all tags from all selected objects |
| otSelName | Select all objects that contain tags who pass the given name search filter |
| otSelValue | Select all objects that contain tags who pass the given value search filter |
| otSelect | A combination of otSelName and otSelValue |
| otShowTags | Display tags on selected objects directly in the Rhino viewports |
| otExamine | Display the tags on a collection of objects in a treeview |
 |  |
| The otShowTags command draws tags directly into the viewports | The Object Properties dockbar is extended to show tag properties of the selected objects |
To install, unzip the rhp and the tb file into a secure location and drag both files into a running Rhino 4 or 5 instance.
Features missing in this version:
- Tag groups are not maintained during tag edit operations.
- An export command which collects tag data and writes out an xml file.
- An import command which collects tag data from an xml file and applies it to objects.
- A viewer which shows all tags in the document.
- A set of RhinoScript methods which exposes the functionality of this plug-in to RhinoScript.
- Some minor commands for merging/copying etc. tags around.
- A tag preset window to add oft used tags for easy access.
