tag_weather = sly.PointcloudTag(meta_weather, value="Sunny")

# Let's create some more tags by cloning our original Pointcloud Tag
# Remember that PointcloudTag class object is immutable, and we need to assign new instance of PointcloudTag to a new variable
clone_weather_1 = tag_weather.clone(value="Snowy")
clone_weather_2 = tag_weather.clone(value="Cloudy")
clone_weather_3 = tag_weather.clone(value="Rainy")
