bill0287 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Am I missing something obvious...how do I edit and save (overwrite) just a model? For example: I start AM Go to File > New > Model Then I drag into the modeling window one of the CD based models, say the DUCK for example. I edit the model a bit I right click, and "SAVE" is grayed out... so I cannot save the model My CD Library is on the local hard drive. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You need to select "Save As" and navigate to some folder/location on your hard drive. "Save" is trying to save it in the original location on the CD (which is not possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fae_alba Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The easiest way I know of is in the modeling window, right click save/save as from the pop up context menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 27, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 27, 2010 How about "save as"? My "save" is greyed out if I haven't made changes to a model yet. Without seeing you do it I'm not sure why yours is greyed if you have made an edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill0287 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 All the details are in my first message. I opened a model that is on the local hard drive (not the CD), edited it some, then right-clicked... the Save option is unavailable, only Save As is available. (edit) I just noticed that : - if I DRAG the model from the Library icon onto a "new" modeler window and edit it - Save IS NOT available - if I use File Open and navigate to the model,open it, and then edit it - Save IS available - if I double-click on the model icon in the library, it opens a modeler window, then I edit it - Save IS available This seems like a bug in the library or something when using drag and drop.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 27, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted July 27, 2010 - if I DRAG the model from the Library icon onto a "new" modeler window and edit it - Save IS NOT available In this new case the new model has no name yet. It needs a Save As to establish a name for further "Save"ing. It's not a bug it's a feature. That's my theory. I've never used the library in 15 years of A:M'ing, though.

bill0287 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 That's a pretty good theory, you are probably correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
