YAUP: Level Tags Manager
So many levels, so many different combinations... my project became too complicated to keep individually switching level visibility. I needed combinations of levels and a way to easily show/hide multiple combinations of levels.

So I developed the Level Tags Manager. It adds tags to levels, and the ability to show/hide levels based on tags.

Version 1.0.5 on GItHub

Practical Use Cases

Organizing by Function

Tag levels by their purpose:

residential - Living spaces
commercial - Business areas
mechanical - Utility areas
storage - Storage spaces

Organizing by Access Level

Tag levels by who can access them:

public - Open to everyone
private - Restricted access
staff-only - Employee areas
executive - Management areas

Project Phases

Tag levels by construction or design phase:

phase-1, phase-2, phase-3
existing, proposed, future
demo, new-construction

Tips and Best Practices

Tag Naming

Use descriptive, consistent names
Avoid spaces if possible (use hyphens or underscores)
Consider using a naming convention like category-value
Keep tag names short but meaningful

Organization Strategies

Create a tag hierarchy: building-north, building-south
Use status tags: complete, in-progress, planned
Combine functional and spatial tags: residential-tower-a

Workflow Integration

Tag levels as you create them
Use bulk operations to focus on specific areas during design
Hide irrelevant levels to reduce visual complexity
Show only relevant levels when presenting to clients
