Select Save Structure as… to save the currently loaded structure in the supported file formats (GDT, GAD, leS, and RAW).

The toolbar icon is the shortcut to this function.

The automatically chosen folder to save the file containing the structure data is the current project folder. However, it is also possible to choose another location.

With Save Structure as Image Stack (*.png)… each Z-slice can be saved as a *.png file. Each Material ID is converted into a gray value.

In the options menu, a Result File Name must be specified. The *.png files are then saved into a folder with the same name and a result file will be created.

Choosing Save Image as… saves the current content of the visualization area in the supported file formats (*.png, *.jpg, *.xpm, *.xbm, *.bmp, *.pgm, *.ppm, and *.pbm) in a selected folder, e.g., the current project folder.

The toolbar icon is the shortcut to this function. The opening dialog is different depending whether 2D or 3D view was previously selected. The dialogs are described in the Save Images chapter for 2D view and 3D view, respectively.

Selecting Save Video as… opens the Create Video dialog, which allows choosing preset scripts that execute the making of a video with appropriate standard settings.

The toolbar icon is the shortcut to the Create Video dialog. The preset video scripts are organized in the two tabs 2D and 3D.

Clicking on Generate Video opens the Export Video dialog, where the output options like the video file name can be entered. The video is then created without any modifications of the underlying script.

Click Open Video Editor to open the Video Editor for modifications. Edit Video Preset allows to change the description of the video preview.

The following preset movie clips are available:
