If you keep Bridge ON, that tool might help to backup your scene while you work in WS side :) Post by TomG // Dec 5, 2008, 3:22am TomG Total Posts: 3397 I wouldn't just close tS to revert back to a previous state, very risky - and also time consuming to wait for it to close and reopen. I would definitely just save the scene with cameras in their default position, then reload the saved scene when I was done moving things around. There is no way to prevent tS from saving the currently live scene when you close it. To avoid having the same scene load up again, people use New Scene before exiting - but that won't help you as it still "destroys" the scene as effectively as closing tS. Basically, I just would not treat the loaded scene as any method of protecting or using a scene at all. With the libraries in the workspace, its just a matter of two clicks to save, no need to even type a file name etc :) Fast, easy, guarantees what you save, the work can be reloaded with a double click in a second as well as saved quickly. HTH!
