This selects the tag from the tag dialog box Tap the ‘Alt’ key on Windows or ‘Command’ key on Mac to sample a tag from an entity.You can use the ‘sample paint’ tool in Tags to sample and assign tags in Sketchup.

And then start clicking away on the entities you would want to apply the tag on.Click on any Tag Name you want to apply from.Activate theTag tool (you’ll find it in the Tags dialog box).If you make a drag selection anticlockwise, then whatever entities or objects that come in the path of the selection would get selected. If you make the selection clockwise, then it would window select objects that are fully contained within the selection. Lasso tool is great for selecting complex objects.

The best part is that you can search tools of the extensions you would install into Sketchup. For example, if you search for ‘Extrude’, then the push/pull tool would show up.

You can also search by the context in Sketchup if you don’t know what exactly what you’re searching for. The default keyboard shortcut is “Shift + S” This is a super useful feature for tools that have less usage in Sketchup and you get to keep most of your toolbars switched off as well. Use the arrow keys to sort through the list and press the ‘enter’ key to activate the commands. Now you can search for your favourite tools in the “Getting Started” toolbar which would potentially save time in your day-to-day modelling workflows.

The search tool is a great addition to Sketchup.
