Main Menu - File
The “File” menu helps you to organize your projects and call existing simulations, but it is not responsible for setting up export settings to store simulation results. Please note that this feature is located under “Export”. These are the entries of the “File” menu:
Entries Without Submenus
New Project
You can close the current project and open the "Project Management" window.
Open Project...
Choose this option for opening an existing project.
Save Project
Save the current project with this menu entry.
Save as...
To save the current project with a new name this action is required.
Revert
Opens the last saved version of the project.
Open Project Folder...
Opens the folder containing the project.
Update SD Scene
With one click you can update a currently loaded scene file, especially after making changes inside the 3D software and writing out a new SD export file.
Summary Info...
The function displays information about the total number of nodes and their properties, such as number of polygons, vertices or particles, together with physical parameters of emitters. Additionally you can add a description of your scene that will be stored with the project.
Preferences...
This command opens a new dialogue window containing parameters for adjusting general characteristics of RealFlow: layout, controls and environment parameters, for example. Under OS X this function can be found under the “RealFlow” entry. The “Preferences” window and its versatile features are explained separately under “RealFlow's Preferences”. Please follow this link to get there.
Exit
Close RealFlow here. Before the program quits you will be asked to save all unsaved changes. In OS X, this function can be found under the “RealFlow” entry.
"Recent workspaces" Submenu
To get a list with recently opened project files, choose this entry. You can directly access these files without having to open RealFlow’s "Project Manager" again.
