File Operations

File operations are divided into project-file operations and model-data operations. Project files save the current editing workspace. Model data is imported, edited, and exported as model content.

Entry: Menu bar → File

Project Files

New Project

Select File → New, or press Ctrl + N to create a new project.

Note: Creating a new project switches to a new empty workspace. Save any unsaved changes in the current project before you proceed.

Open Project

Select File → Open, or press Ctrl + O to open an existing project file.

Opening a project replaces the current workspace. If the current project has unsaved changes, save it before opening another project.

Open Recent Project

Select File → Open Recent and choose a project from the list of recently used projects. The list shows only project files that still exist on disk and contains up to five entries.

Save Project

Select File → Save, or press Ctrl + S to save the current project.

Save Project As

Select File → Save As, or press Ctrl + Shift + S to save the current project to a new location.

Export Project

Select File → Export → Export Project, or press Ctrl + E to export the project file for backing up or transferring the current editing workspace.

Import Model Data

Select File → Import to import model data. Import is incremental and does not overwrite other models in the current workspace. You can select multiple files at once.

Supported formats: LCC, LCC2, PLY, SOG, SPZ

Import rules:

  • When you import a legacy LCC file, the system upgrades it to LCC2 automatically.
  • Files with duplicate names cannot be imported.
  • Select File → Import Recent to re-import a model from the list of recently imported models.
  • After entering Edit mode, entry points that replace the current workspace, such as opening a project, importing data, and opening recent files, are disabled. Exit Edit mode before importing another model.

Export Model

Select File → Export → Export Model to open the model export dialog.

Supported formats: LCC2 (SOG), LCC2 (SPZ), PLY

In the export dialog, select the models and export method:

  • If no model is selected, all models in the current workspace are exported.
  • If one model is selected, only that model is exported.
  • If multiple models are selected, you can merge them into one export or export them separately according to the options in the dialog.
  • When exporting PLY, you can generate separate PLY files by model level.

Exit

Select File → Exit to close Model Editor.

Note: Save the project before exiting. Unsaved project changes are not restored automatically.
