Opening and saving projects


3D Worlds are saved in AXEL project files (.axel) that store all the information required to recreate the objects, animation, interaction, and publishing settings in your World.

To start a new project:

Launch AXEL or if AXEL is running, choose File > New or press Ctrl+N.

To save your work:

Choose File > Save, press Ctrl+S, or click Save ( ) on the standard toolbar.

Note: Depending on your screen resolution, the standard toolbar may be hidden. To show the standard toolbar, choose View > Toolbars > Standard Toolbar.

To save a project under another name:

Choose File > Save As.

The project file is saved in the location you choose. If the World contains textures or sounds, they are copied to a texture and/or sound folder in the same location as the project file.

To open an existing project:

Choose File > Open, or press Ctrl+O, or click Open ( ) on the standard toolbar.

To close a project:

Open another project or exit AXEL.

To exit AXEL:

Choose File > Exit.
