Tagitize

Keep CAD background clear

On some projects, it’s necessary to link in CAD data, such as DWG floor plans or DXF detail sections, to then add your BIM information on top. When tagging objects on this BIM layer, we naturally don’t want the new tags to overlap or clash with elements from the CAD background. This is easily achievable with Tagitize.

In the example below, we have a stair section coming from a linked DWG in the Revit view. On top of this, we added a Revit element we now want to tag:

Screentake 21022026 121950

If we tag it now with the default settings, the new tag may clash with the DWG stair:

Screentake 21022026 122535

To keep the DWG background clear, enable this option under Tagitize settings:

Screentake 21022026 122324

Re-run the tagging command, and the result should be like this:

Screentake 21022026 120815
