What it does
These commands let you save your current roofing model to preserve your work and create backups.
🧾 File > Save
This command automatically saves the current model you are working on. If you have not yet saved the model, you will see the Select Database and Model to Write dialog box.
In the dialog box, you enter the database file name or select one from the list. You then need to enter a model name to uniquely identify this job in the database file.
If you want a preview image to be saved, then check the Save preview check box.
Note: The database name and model name are noted in the status line at the top of the workspace screen. If they are noted as None, then you have not yet saved the model.
🧾 File > Save-As
This command is the same as Save except it will always allow you to select a new path, database file and model to save the job in.
💡 Key differences
