Hello Arek!  Good question!  Truth be told you can do it either way…

Leave them alone and just use the 2d Graphic / 3d Object SketchUp tags that are already baked into our dynamic door and window components.  ConDoc 5 automates tags just the same as before.

Or, you could remove those 2d Graphic / 3d Object SketchUp tags (“untagged”) and then apply ConDoc Tags.

Here’s a scenario where the second option makes a ton of sense.  If you are working on a renovation, and want to create a scope diagram, the “Color by Tag” style in SketchUp shows the color of the last tag in the nesting.  So if you have 2d Graphic / 3d Object SketchUp tags the CONDITION tag above it won’t show through.  The scope diagram is somewhat incomplete because the doors and windows show as white even though some are demolished, some new, and some existing.  With the new ConDoc Tags, you could use ConDoc tags in place of the 2d Graphic / 3d Object SketchUp tags.  Then apply SketchUp condition tags to the objects.  Now the scope diagram is complete!

Someone asked this question on the livestream and I didn’t have a great answer… but after some testing this works even better than before!  Did you follow me?  It’s complicated to explain…  I have it on my tutorial list!
