Applying Option Tags in Illustrations (Early Preview)

Show the right version of a product in your illustrations.

Applicable to:

Zea Illustrations

Overview

Option tags allow you to create a single illustration that can be displayed in multiple configurations while showing the same basic procedure. This is especially useful in live illustrations, such as embedded work instructions for workers on the line.

Before applying option tags in Illustrations, you must first

configure them in 3D Models⁠

. Once tags are applied in a model, they can be used in Illustrations to preview and publish different product configurations.

Note: This feature is in early preview and under active development.

⁠

Use Option Tags in an Illustration

Configure option tags in 3D Models first (see

Configuring Option Tags in 3D Models⁠

Open an Illustration and go to File > Edit Option Tags.

Enter one or more tags (e.g., bucket, wheels) into the dialog and click Apply.

The illustration reloads, and the model displays with only the parts matching those tags.

Multiple tags can be applied for different combinations.

The URL updates to include the applied tags, for example: ?optionTags=%5B"wheels"%5D.

Copy the updated URL — you’ll use this later when viewing the published illustration.

⁠

Note: If tags remove parts that are used in the illustration sequence, the procedure may not display correctly.

Publish your illustration (see

Publish an Illustration⁠

)

Paste the URL snippet (?optionTags=...) into the link or embed code.

The published illustration will load with the selected configuration.
