Open Model

Clicking this opens a window where you can search for the model file you want to load from your computer. You can start by viewing the Demo Model provided by Scientific Visual, or you can manually navigate to another folder. You can also use the search bar to type the file name. Once you find the file, click Submit and wait for the model to load.

Save Model

The Save Model option allows you to save your current model, including any changes or adjustments you’ve made. This feature ensures that all updates to the model are stored and can be accessed later. You can either overwrite the existing file or save a new version by choosing a different file name or location.
