The 3CAD Next Supervisor offers the possibility to implement a filtering system for commercial models based on tags. These filters can be created in the section Commercial models filter groups of the Supervisor to be then associated with commercial models. Tags filters can be flexibly used according to the specific needs of the project. Once defined within the Supervisor, they require customization to allow their visualization in the 3CAD Next front-end window.
Example
In a 3CAD Next project for a sofa reseller company, a tag filtering system has been implemented and the following tag has been created:
Tag name = "Functionality"
Tag option = "Reclining", "Footrest", "Sofa bed", "Cup holder", "Container compartment"
When clicking on Commercial Models Filter Groups in the Supervisor's dashboard, a page opens where all the previously created filters are listed, if any exist.
In this window, it is possible to:
Create a new tag filter
To create a new tag filter, take the following steps:
- Enter the Supervisor (in the correct environment).

- In the page that opens click on Add Filter on the left-hand side of the window. If other filters are already listed on the page, scroll to the end of the page to find the button. A boxed form opens in the window.
