Saving and Loading Blender Scenes with Prim.Blender

So let’s suppose you have a lot of work invested within Blender itself, and can’t save all of it as .prims.

Or, let’s say you don’t feel like hitting the “Save” or “Load” buttons twice every time you want to work.

Enter the ability to save your work as a .blend file!



Actually, this is much easier than one might think.

All you have to do is exit Prim.Blender via the Exit widget, then save normally.

Don’t know how to “save normally?” Simply select File > Save from the upper-left hand File menu, or press Ctrl-W and accept the given prompt.

Technically, this can be done while Prim.Blender is still running.

However, it is strongly recommended that you exit first, as this will prevent unforeseen errors from occurring, and supports far more Blender versions.

That’s it! When you load this .blend file again, all your work will be there.

All you have to do then is execute the script again after loading, as explained in the basic usage tutorial.
